Conn. Practice Book § 22-9 (2026)

Sec. 22-9. Function of the Court (a) Such appeals are heard by the court upon the certified copy of the record filed by the board. The court does not retry the facts or hear evi- dence. It considers no evidence other than that certified to it by the board, and then for the limited purpose of determining whether the finding should be corrected, or whether there was any evidence to support in law the conclusions reached. It can- not review the conclusions of the board when these depend upon the weight of the evidence and the credibility of witnesses. In addition to ren- dering judgment on the appeal, the court may order the board to remand the case to a referee for any further proceedings deemed necessary by the court. The court may remand the case to the board for proceedings de novo, or for further pro- ceedings on the record, or for such limited pur- poses as the court may prescribe. The court may retain jurisdiction by ordering a return to the court of the proceedings conducted in accordance with the order of the court, or may order final disposi- tion. A party aggrieved by a final disposition made in compliance with an order of the Superior Court may, by the filing of an appropriate motion, request the court to review the disposition of the case. (b) Corrections by the court of the board’s find- ing will only be made upon the refusal to find a material fact which was an admitted or undisputed fact, upon the finding of a fact in language of doubtful meaning so that its real significance may not clearly appear, or upon the finding of a material fact without evidence. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 519.)
