Connecticut General Statutes Title 52. Civil Actions § 52-293. Sale of attached livestock and perishable property

When any livestock, or other personal property in its nature perishable or liable to depreciation, or the custody and proper preservation of which would be difficult or expensive, is attached, either party to the suit may apply to any judge of the court to which such process is returnable for an order to sell the same, and thereupon, after such reasonable notice to the adverse party as such judge directs, and upon satisfactory proof that such sale is necessary and proper, and payment of the judge's fees by the party making such application, such judge may order such property to be sold by the officer who attached the same, or, in case of such officer's inability, by a state marshal, or any indifferent person requested in writing to do so by such attaching officer, at public auction, at such time and place, and upon such notice, as such judge deems reasonable; and such judge may, at such judge's discretion, order the officer making such sale to deposit the avails with the clerk of such court.
