Conn. Gen. Stat. § 46a § 46a-94
(Formerly Sec. 53-36d). Appeal to Appellate Court from Superior Court action re injunction against discriminatory employment practice or discriminatory practice in sale or rental of residential or commercial property.
Operative Text
(a) An appeal to the Appellate Court shall lie from any judgment, injunctive relief, order or decree entered pursuant to section 46a-89, 46a-89a or 46a-90a. (b) In any appeal to the Appellate Court under the provisions of this section, any judge of the Appellate Court, on written application, after oral hearing: (1) May order a party who has filed a notice of intent to appeal either to appeal or withdraw such notice of appeal, and (2) may make such orders as will expedite the appeal.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 46a-94, parties involved in Superior Court judgments, injunctions, orders, or decrees related to discriminatory practices in employment or residential and commercial property transactions have the right to appeal those rulings to the Connecticut Appellate Court. Once an appeal is underway, an Appellate Court judge may, after receiving a written application and holding an oral hearing, direct a party who has filed a notice of intent to appeal to either proceed with or withdraw that notice. The same judge may also issue orders designed to move the appeal forward more efficiently.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Superior Court rulings on discriminatory rental or sale practices should be aware that Conn. Gen. Stat. § 46a-94 establishes a formal appellate pathway to the Connecticut Appellate Court. Operators who have received an injunction or other court order under the referenced statutes generally document all court filings carefully and track any deadlines associated with a notice of intent to appeal. Because an Appellate Court judge can compel a party to either proceed with or withdraw a pending appeal, maintaining clear records of all procedural steps is a standard practice for compliant property management.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 46a-94 gives tenants and other parties who have obtained—or been subject to—a Superior Court ruling on housing discrimination the ability to seek review before the Connecticut Appellate Court. If a notice of intent to appeal has been filed, an Appellate Court judge can, on written application and after an oral hearing, require that the appeal move forward or be withdrawn, which can affect how long a protective order or injunction remains in limbo. Tenants navigating this process may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Connecticut fair housing law to understand the procedural options available under this provision.
