History
(Amended July 15, 2025, to take effect Jan. 1, 2026.) (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 4177.) (Amended July 26, 2000, to take effect Jan. 1, 2001; amended Jan. 31, 2013, to take effect April 19, 2013; amended Sept. 16, 2015, to take effect Jan. 1, 2016; amended July 19, 2022, to take effect Jan. 1, 2023; amended June 27, 2023, to take effect Jan. 1, 2024; amended July 15, 2025, to take effect Jan. 1, 2026.) HISTORY—2026: Prior to 2026, this section was titled “Application; In General,” and provided: “Within two weeks of the issuance of an order or decision of the Superior Court involving a matter of substantial public interest pursuant to General Statutes § 52-265a, any party may file an application for certification by the chief justice. The application for certification shall contain: (1) the question of law on which the appeal is to be based; (2) a description of the substantial public interest that is alleged to be involved; (3) an explanation as to why delay may work a substantial injustice; and (4) an appendix with: (A) the decision or order of the Superior Court sought to be appealed and (B) a list of all parties to the case in the Superior Court with the names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses and, if appli- cable, the juris numbers of their counsel. If the party in a civil matter is an entity as defined in Section 60-4, counsel of record must also provide a certificate of interested entities or individuals in the appendix. “Using an expeditious delivery method such as overnight mail or facsimile or other electronic medium, in addition to the certification requirements of Section 62-7, the party submitting the application shall also notify the trial judge and the clerk of the trial court that rendered the decision sought to be appealed. “A party response to the application must be filed within five days from the filing of the application.” COMMENTARY—2026: The purpose of these amend- ments is to update the rule to conform to current practice, to make the format for applications pursuant to General Statutes § 52-265a more consistent with the format for motions, and to provide that parties are required to file a certificate of interested entities or individuals only when the reviewing court orders the parties to file the certificate when necessary.
