Connecticut Civil Case Type Codes are codes used to categorize civil cases in the state of Connecticut. There are seven main types of Connecticut Civil Case Type Codes: Torts, Contract, Real Property, Equity, Small Claims, Probate, and Appellate. Torts are civil wrongs that result in harm or injury to another person. These cases involve monetary damages awarded to the injured party. Contract cases involve disputes between two or more parties in which a contract is alleged to have been breached. Real Property cases involve disputes related to the ownership, possession, and use of land and buildings. These cases may involve legal issues, such as boundary disputes, trespass, and nuisance. Equity cases involve cases in which a court of equity may provide relief not available in a court of law. These cases may involve disputes regarding trusts, guardianship, or other similar matters. Small Claims cases involve disputes in which the amount of money in dispute is up to $5,000. These cases are heard by a Small Claims Court. Probate cases involve disputes related to the administration of estates and trusts, including the appointment of executors, trustees, and guardians. Appellate cases involve appeals of decisions handed down by lower courts. These cases are heard by the Supreme Court of Connecticut.
