§ 8-8. Member of Community Defending to Give Bond

 

If, in any action against a community, any individual member of such community appears to defend, he or she shall procure bond with surety to the acceptance of the court in which the action is pending, to save such community harmless from all costs which may arise by reason of such appearance, which bond shall be payable to such community and be filed in such court. Any such individual member who successfully defends against such action shall be entitled to the costs recoverable from the plaintiff unless the community likewise appeared and incurred the costs of such defense. (See General Statutes § 52-187 and annotations.)
