What is the burden of providing a sufficient record to be reviewed by an appellate court on an appeal of a judgment made against defendant in a personal injury case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gomez, F072439 (Cal. App. 2017):
Even assuming Claudia received defendant's property, an appellate court's review of the record is limited to matters contained in the record. The appellant has the burden of furnishing the reviewing court with a sufficient record to consider the issues on appeal. (People v. Neilson (2007) 154 Cal.App.4th 1529, 1534.) Rather than meeting this burden and presenting evidence supporting his claim, defendant evades his burden on appeal behind a flurry of speculation.
