Conn. Practice Book § 17-9 (2026)

Sec. 17-9. —Form and Contents of Special Finding The special findings of fact required by Section 17-5 to be made, if requested, as an incident to the judgment should ordinarily form a part of the judgment file. It should contain only facts mater- ial to the issues tried. When any fact upon which final judgment is founded is simply a bare con- clusion of law from more detailed and subordin- ate facts, as, for instance, in cases of constructive fraud, the finding, if a special one be requested, must specially set forth the subordinate facts from which, as such conclusion of law, the judicial 260 authority finds the principal fact. In such cases the finding should be such as distinctly to show any conclusion of law thus drawn. When a mate- rial fact is found from more detailed or subordinate facts, not as a conclusion of law but as a conclu- sion of fact, only the main or resulting fact should be set forth in the finding. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 334.)
