Conn. Practice Book § 73-1

the Superior Court to the Supreme Court or

Appellate Court; Contents of Reservation

Request

(a) Counsel may jointly file with the Superior

Court a request to reserve questions of law for

consideration by the Supreme Court or Appellate

Court. A reservation request shall set forth: (1) a

stipulation of the essential undisputed facts and

a clear and full statement of the question or questions upon which advice is desired; (2) a statement

of reasons why the resolution of the question by

the appellate court having jurisdiction would serve

the interest of simplicity, directness and judicial

economy; and (3) whether the answers to the

questions will determine, or are reasonably certain to enter into the final determination of the

case. All questions presented for advice shall be

specific and shall be phrased so as to require a

Y es or No answer.

(b) Reservation requests may be brought only

in those cases in which an appeal could have

been filed directly to the Supreme Court, or to the

Appellate Court, respectively, had judgment been

rendered. Reservations in cases where the proper

court for the appeal cannot be determined prior

to judgment shall be filed directly to the

Supreme Court.
