Conn. Practice Book § 25a-23 (2026)

Sec. 25a-23. Answers to Interrogatories (a) Any such interrogatories shall be answered under oath by the party to whom directed and such answers shall not be filed with the court but shall be served within sixty days after the date of certification of service, in accordance with Sec- tions 10-12, 10-14 and 10-17, of the interrogato- ries or, if applicable, the notice of interrogatories on the answering party, unless: (1) Counsel file with the court a written stipula- tion extending the time within which answers or objections may be served; or (2) The party to whom the interrogatories are directed, after service in accordance with Sections 10-12, 10-14 and 10-17, files a request for exten- sion of time, for not more than thirty days, within the initial sixty day period. Such request shall con- tain a certification by the requesting party that the case has not been assigned for trial. Such request shall be deemed to have been automatically granted by the judicial authority on the date of filing, unless within ten days of such filing the party who has served the interrogatories or the notice of interrogatories shall file objection thereto. A party shall be entitled to one such request for each set of interrogatories directed to that party; or (3) Upon motion, the judicial authority allows a longer time. (b) The party answering interrogatories shall attach a cover sheet to the answers. The cover sheet shall comply with Sections 4-1 and 4-2 and shall state that the party has answered all of the interrogatories or shall set forth those interrog- atories to which the party objects and the rea- sons for objection. The cover sheet and the answers shall not be filed with the court unless the responding party objects to one or more inter- rogatories, in which case only the cover sheet shall be so filed. (c) All answers to interrogatories shall repeat immediately before each answer the interrogatory being answered. Answers are to be signed by the person making them. The party serving the interrogatories or the notice of interrogatories may move for an order under Section 25a-25 with respect to any failure to answer.
