Conn. Practice Book § 9-2 (2026)

Sec. 9-2. Defense by Garnishee; Continuance In any action by foreign attachment, if the defendant does not appear, any garnishee may be admitted to defend his or her principal; but, if the defendant is not in this state and does not appear, personally or by attorney, and the gar- nishee does not appear to defend, the action shall be continued, postponed or adjourned for a period of three months from the return day of the writ. Any continuance, postponement or adjournment, prescribed in this or Section 9-1, shall not be granted or, if granted, shall terminate whenever the judicial authority finds that the absent or non- resident defendant, or authorized agent or attor- ney, has received actual notice of the pendency of the case at least twelve days prior to such finding, and thereupon, unless some special rea- son is shown for further delay, the cause may be brought to trial. (See General Statutes § 52-88 and annotations.) (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 81.)
