Conn. Practice Book § 60-5

Review by the Court; Plain Error; Preservation of Claims

activein force · 2016-01-01 – presentact-effective-date

The court may reverse or modify the decision

of the trial court if it determines that the factual

findings are clearly erroneous in view of the evidence and pleadings in the whole record, or that

the decision is otherwise erroneous in law.

The court shall not be bound to consider a claim

unless it was distinctly raised at the trial or arose

subsequent to the trial. The court may in the interests of justice notice plain error not brought to the

attention of the trial court.

In jury trials, where there is a motion, argument,

or offer of proof or evidence in the absence of

the jury, whether during trial or before, pertaining

to an issue that later arises in the presence of

the jury, and counsel has fully complied with the

requirements for preserving any objection or

exception to the judge’s adverse ruling thereon

in the absence of the jury, the matter shall be

deemed to be distinctly raised at the trial for purposes of this rule without a further objection or

exception provided that the grounds for such

objection or exception, and the ruling thereon as

previously articulated, remain the same.

If the court deems it necessary to the proper

disposition of the cause, it may order a further

articulation of the basis of the trial court’s factual

findings or decision.

It is the responsibility of the appellant to provide

an adequate record for review as provided in Section 61-10.
