2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 52 - Civil Actions|Chapter 909 - Arbitration Proceedings|Section 52-421 - Record to be filed with clerk of court. Effect and enforcement of judgment or decree.

The judgment or decree so entered shall have the same force and effect in all respects as, and be subject to all the provisions of law relating to, a judgment or decree in a civil action; and it may be enforced as if it had been rendered in a civil action in the court in which it is entered. When the award requires the performance of any other act than the payment of money, the court or judge entering the judgment or decree may direct the enforcement thereof in the manner provided by law for the enforcement of equitable decrees.(1949 Rev., S. 8164; P.A. 82-160, S. 160.)History: P.A. 82-160 rephrased the section, inserted Subsec. indicators and replaced alphabetic Subdiv. indicators with numeric indicators.Cited. 155 C. 278.

(b) that the court, in confirming an award, specify manner of payment. 120 CA 117.

CT Gen Stat § 52-422 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 52 - Civil Actions|Chapter 909 - Arbitration Proceedings|Section 52-422 - Order pendente lite.

 At any time before an award is rendered pursuant to an arbitration under this chapter, the superior court for the judicial district in which one of the parties resides or, in a controversy concerning land, for the judicial district in which the land is situated or, when said court is not in session, any judge thereof, upon application of any party to the arbitration, may make forthwith such order or decree, issue such process and direct such proceedings as may be necessary to protect the rights of the parties pending the rendering of the award and to secure the satisfaction thereof when rendered and confirmed.(1949 Rev., S. 8165; P.A. 78-280, S. 2, 127.)History: P.A. 78-280 substituted “judicial district” for “county”.Cited. 140 C. 446. Order entered pursuant to section temporarily reinstating plaintiff was immediately appealable as a final judgment. 228 C. 106. Cited. 232 C. 175; 233 C. 370. Although court had subject matter jurisdiction over an arbitration dispute because an award had not yet been rendered and the allegation was that injunctive relief was necessary to protect rights pending the rendering of the award, in this case concerning matters reserved to arbitration, there was no basis on which to conclude that injunctive relief sought by plaintiff was essential or indispensable to safeguard rights. 271 C. 329.A motion to dismiss predicated upon the absence of standing is not a proceeding that must comply with section because a motion to dismiss is not a pendente lite proceeding. 162 CA 430.
