There is a newer version of the Connecticut General Statutes
2011 Connecticut Code
Title 52 Civil Actions
Chapter 901 Damages, Costs and Fees
Sec. 52-249a. Costs and attorney's fee in action upon a bond substituted for a mechanic's lien.
Sec. 52-249a. Costs and attorney's fee in action upon a bond substituted for a mechanic's lien. A plaintiff who prevails in any action upon a bond which has been substituted for a mechanic's lien shall be allowed costs and a reasonable attorney's fee.(P.A. 07-120, S. 1.)
Plaintiff is not entitled to attorney's fees under this section which was enacted after plaintiff filed mechanic's lien and substituted bond in lieu thereof because legislature is presumed to have intended prospective application only as section creates a new substantive right and is not merely clarifying legislation. 119 CA 423.
