Sec. 52-102b. Addition of person as defendant for apportionment of liability
purposes.
Subsec. (a):
Although compliance with the 120-day limit is mandatory, equitable reasons may excuse compliance, and fact that
legal basis for apportioning liability arose only after the 120-day limit had expired constitutes an equitable reason justifying
excusal from compliance with the limit. 281 C. 112.

Sec. 52-114. Pleading of contributory negligence.
Appropriate method for conveying effect of this section to a jury is to articulate the burdens that it imposes upon the
parties. Those burdens are that plaintiff must prove defendant's negligence, and defendant must prove plaintiff's contributory negligence if defendant has pleaded it. 281 C. 29.
