Conn. Practice Book § 24-9

The small claims writ and notice of suit shall

be on a form prescribed by the Office of the Chief

Court Administrator. The plaintiff, or representative,

shall state the nature and amount of the claim on

the writ in concise, untechnical form and, if the

claim seeks collection of a consumer debt, shall

state the basis upon which the plaintiff claims that

the statute of limitations has not expired. The writ

is to be signed by either the plaintiff, or representative, under oath. The oath shall provide that the

signer has read the claim, and that to the best of the

signer’s knowledge, information and belief there is

good ground to support it. If the claim is more than

a convenient length for entry on the writ in full, the

plaintiff, or representative, shall attach additional

pages as needed. The plaintiff, or representative,

shall also state on the writ the plaintiff’s and the

defendant’s place of residence or other address.

At the time of filing any writ, the plaintiff, or attor -

ney shall verify the defendant’s address. Such

verification shall include confirmation by at least

one of the following methods made during the six

months prior to the filing of the writ: (1) municipal

record verification (e.g., from a street list or tax

records); (2) verification from the Department of

Motor Vehicles; (3) receipt of correspondence from

the defendant with that return address; (4) other

verification, specifically described by the plaintiff,

from the defendant that the address is current; (5)

the mailing by first class mail, at least four weeks

prior to the filing of the small claims action, of a

letter to the defendant at such address, which letter

has not been returned by the United States Postal

Service. The plaintiff shall state under oath in the

writ which method of verification was employed

within the last six months, the date of verification,

and that the method confirmed the accuracy of

the address submitted. No default judgment shall

enter in the absence of such verification or if it is

apparent that the defendant did not reside at the

address at the time of service.
