| The court system in Connecticut consists of the Supreme Court,
Court of Appeals, and the Superior Court. Credit and collection action are
generally determined by the Superior Court: Superior Court: The Superior Court is the sole court of original jurisdiction for all causes of action, except such actions over which the courts of probate have original jurisdiction, as provided by statute. All jurisdiction previously conferred upon and exercised by the Court of Common Pleas and the Juvenile Court were transferred to the Superior Court on July 1, 1978. (Section 51-164s.) Small Claims Court: The small claims procedure is applicable to all actions, except actions of libel and slander, claiming money damages not in excess of two thousand five hundred dollars, and to no other actions. (Section 51-15(d), Section 52-549a.) |
