Conn. Practice Book § 43-41
Motion for Speedy Trial; Dismissal
If the defendant is not brought to trial within the
applicable time limit set forth in Sections 43-39
through 43-40A, and, absent good cause shown,
a trial is not commenced within thirty days of the
filing of a motion for speedy trial by the defendant
at any time after such time limit has passed, the
information shall be dismissed with prejudice, on
motion of the defendant filed after the expiration
of such thirty day period. For the purpose of this
section, good cause consists of any one of the
reasons for delay set forth in Section 43-40 or 43-
40A. When good cause for delay exists, the trial
shall commence as soon as is reasonably possible. Failure of the defendant to file a motion to
dismiss prior to the commencement of trial shall
constitute a waiver of the right to dismissal under
these rules.
