Conn. Practice Book § 60-5
Review by the Court; Plain Error; Preservation of Claims
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.
