Conn. Practice Book § 17-9
Form and Contents of Special Finding
The special findings of fact required by Section
17-5 to be made, if requested, as an incident to
the judgment should ordinarily form a part of the
judgment file. It should contain only facts material to the issues tried. When any fact upon which
final judgment is founded is simply a bare conclusion of law from more detailed and subordinate facts, as, for instance, in cases of constructive
fraud, the finding, if a special one be requested,
must specially set forth the subordinate facts from
which, as such conclusion of law, the judicial
authority finds the principal fact. In such cases
the finding should be such as distinctly to show
any conclusion of law thus drawn. When a material fact is found from more detailed or subordinate
acts, not as a conclusion of law but as a conclusion of fact, only the main or resulting fact should
be set forth in the finding.
