Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-294

Current with legislation from the 2024 Regular and Special Sessions.
Section 52-294 - Procedure on sale of attached property

When the plaintiff intends to make application for a sale pursuant to section 52-293, the property shall be appraised by three disinterested property owners of the town where it was taken, one of whom shall be appointed by the plaintiff, one of whom shall be appointed by the defendant, and one of whom shall be appointed by agreement of both the plaintiff and the defendant, provided, if they cannot agree in appointing the third appraiser or if either party neglects to appoint, the attaching officer shall apply to a judge of the superior court for the judicial district in which the property is located, who shall appoint one or more appraisers as the case may require. The appraisers or any two of them, being sworn, shall make a written estimate of the true value of the property, and deliver their appraisal to the attaching officer. A certificate of the appraisal, signed by at least two of them, shall be presented to the judge to whom the plaintiff applies for an order of sale. Before any order is made upon application of the plaintiff, he shall give bond with surety to the adverse party, to the acceptance of the judge, in double the amount of the value of the property, conditioned that he shall prosecute his action to effect and pay all damages which the adverse party may sustain by the sale of such property at less than its appraised value, with interest thereon.
