Plain-English Summary
Section 1-7 creates the housing division as one of the Superior Court's divisions, but it exists only in the judicial districts a statute designates for it. The division has a single part, labeled H, which handles housing matters as defined by General Statutes § 47a-68.
Unlike the family, civil, and criminal divisions, which are divided into several parts, the housing division has just one. The rule doesn't spell out which judicial districts have a housing division — it points to the statute for that.
