2 Conn. Sup. 134, the court held that the failure of the plaintiff to comply explicitly with the statute dealing with service of summons resulted in a failure to acquire jurisdiction over the defendant. The general rule is well established that “[w]here a specified mode of giving notice is prescribed by statute, that method is exclusive.” 58 Am. Jur. 2d, Notice § 22. Failure to comply with the statutory standards in a summary process action deprives the court of jurisdiction to hear the action. Hartford Trust Co. v. West Hartford, 84 Conn. 646; Ide v. Crown Supermarket of New Haven, Inc., 23 Conn. Sup. 253, 1 Conn. Cir. Ct. 190; Jepsen v. The Toni Co., 20 Conn. Sup. 287.
