Margarum v. Donut Delight, Inc.

Syllabus

The plaintiff, a business invitee of the defendants, sought to recover damages for personal injuries he sustained when he allegedly slipped and fell on an accumulation of ice on a sidewalk or parking area maintained and controlled by the defendants. The plaintiff thereafter withdrew his com- plaint as against the named defendant. Following a jury verdict and judgment in favor of the defendant S Co., the plaintiff appealed to this court. Held that the record was inadequate to review the plaintiff's claim that the trial court erred in denying his motion to set aside the verdict, the plaintiff having failed to order or otherwise provide this court with transcripts of the evidentiary portion of the trial proceedings in accor- dance with the applicable rules of practice (§§ 61-10 (a) and 63-8 (a)); moreover, this court declined to review the plaintiff's inadequately briefed claim that the court erred in denying his request for supplemental jury interrogatories and deemed the claim abandoned.
