Consolidation of Preliminary Motions and Demurrers in Connecticut

Edgerton, John
Abstract
The abolishment of demurrers by the new equity rules of the Federal Court and by the recent Practice Act of the Law Courts of New Jersey makes pertinent the question whether Connecticut may not to her advantage amend her practice to conform to that of those two jurisdictions and that of the English Courts. The Connecticut State Bar Association has already gone on record as favoring the adoption of a rule which should compel a party to embody in one document a motion to expunge and a demurrer,. where the motion and demurrer are addressed to the same pleading, whether the moving party claims both forms of relief or "whether he is experimenting to ascertain what is the proper form of relief to which he is entitled."
