• 197 Conn. App. 421

Syllabus

The plaintiff sought to recover damages for breach of contract in connection with the purchase of certain real property owned by the defendants. Following a trial to the court, the trial court rendered judgment for the defendants. On appeal to this court, the plaintiff made numerous claims, including that the trial court's findings throughout the trial were based on fraudulent misrepresentations that the defendants presented as fac- tual trial exhibits and were further supported by false testimony. Held that the plaintiff failed to provide an adequate record that would enable this court to review her claims on appeal; the plaintiff filed a form pursuant to the rules of practice (§§ 63-4 (a) and 63-8 (a)) in which she noted that she would not be ordering transcripts from the trial and, in the absence of the transcripts, this court could not evaluate the plaintiff's arguments in support of her appellate claims without resorting to specu- lation.
