Sec. 52-68. Notice to nonresident adverse or interested parties and interested
parties unknown to plaintiff. (a) The Superior Court, and the judges, clerks and assistant clerks thereof, may, except where it is otherwise specially provided by law, make
such order as is deemed reasonable, in regard to the notice which shall be given of the
institution or pendency of all complaints, writs of error and appeals from probate, which
may be brought to or pending in the Superior Court, when the adverse party, or any
persons so interested therein that they ought to be made parties thereto, reside out of
the state, or when the names or residences of any such persons in interest are unknown
to the party instituting the proceeding.
(b) Such notice, having been given and proved by the affidavit of the officer who
served the notice or by other competent evidence, shall be deemed sufficient service
and notice, and the court may proceed to a hearing, unless otherwise provided by law,
or may order further notice as it deems reasonable.
(1949 Rev., S. 7785; 1961, P.A. 517, S. 40; February, 1965, P.A. 395; P.A. 78-280, S. 101, 127; P.A. 82-160, S. 23.)
History: 1961 act deleted obsolete provision for making of orders by county commissioners; 1965 act amended last
sentence to provide proof be "by the affidavit ... or other competent evidence"; P.A. 78-280 substituted "superior court"
for "any court", reflecting transfer of all trial jurisdiction to superior court, and deleted reference to terms and sessions of
court, reflecting fact that court now sits continuously; P.A. 82-160 replaced "several courts, other than the courts of probate,"
with "superior court" and inserted Subsec. indicators.
