Conn. Practice Book § 40-55
Waiver of Presence and Failure To Appear at Deposition
A defendant may waive, in writing, the right to
be present in person. Failure of a defendant not
in custody, absent good cause shown, to appear
after notice, shall constitute a waiver of that right
and of any objection to the taking and use of the
deposition based upon that right. The deposition
shall not be admissible in evidence if the defendant has not appeared in person and has not validly
waived his or her right to appear. When a deposition is taken in the absence of the defendant,
the prosecuting authority shall file a copy of the
deposition within thirty days for inspection by the
defendant, unless before that time he or she has
delivered the deposition or a copy thereof to the
defendant. If this section is not complied with,
such deposition shall not be admissible in evidence.
