Connecticut General Statutes Title 52. Civil Actions § 52-224. Special verdicts. Jury to assess damages

(a) The court shall determine questions of law referred to it by the jury in a special verdict, which they may give when they entertain doubts respecting points of law arising in the action, or when the parties request it. In a special verdict the jury shall find the facts, and state the questions of law thus:

If the law be so in such a point, then we find for the plaintiff;

but if the law be otherwise, then we find for the defendant.

(b) When the jury finds a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, they shall assess the damages which he shall be entitled to recover.
