(b) An action of replevin, to the extent that it includes a prejudgment remedy as defined in section 52-278a, shall not be allowed unless the provisions of sections 52-278a to 52-278f, inclusive, are complied with.

History: P.A. 78-280 substituted “judicial district” for “county”; P.A. 82-160 rephrased the section and added Subsec. (b) prohibiting actions of replevin that include prejudgment remedies as defined in Sec. 52-278a unless the provisions of Secs. 52-278a to 52-278f, inclusive, are complied with.
See Sec. 51-15 re rules of procedure in certain civil actions.
