Wherever in the general statutes the word “county” is used to establish or refer to venue for the Superior Court, such word “county” shall be construed to mean a judicial district established pursuant to section 51-344.

(1949 Rev., S. 7593; 1957, P.A. 64, S. 1; 1972, P.A. 165, S. 2; June, 1972, P.A. 1, S. 20; P.A. 76-436, S. 401, 681; P.A. 77-576, S. 1, 65.)

History: 1972 acts added reference to superior court jurisdiction, effective September 5, 1972; P.A. 76-436 removed reference to jurisdiction of court of common pleas, reflecting transfer of all trial jurisdiction to superior court, effective July 1, 1978; P.A. 77-576 restated section, referring to venue rather than jurisdiction and reflecting substitution of judicial districts generally for counties; Sec. 51-140 transferred to Sec. 51-342 in the 1977 Court Reorganization Supplement.
