1. “A careful review of the record reveals that, when the circuit court denied appellant’s post-trial motions, the court only articulated its finding with respect to appellant’s right to participate in the hearing on damages. The court did not articulate its reason for denying appellant’s motion to re vise____ Accordingly, we are unable to say whether the court acted properly in denying appellant’s motion to revise. Ordinarily, it is the responsibility of the parties to provide a proper record. We have previously recognized, however, that when “the record is incomplete through no apparent fault of the appealing party ... the purposes of justice will be advanced by permitting further proceedings in the cause.” ... [W]e do not think it was appellant’s fault that the lower court failed to articulate the reasons for its denial of appellant’s motion to revise, because the motion was denied without a hearing. We shall, therefore, remand the case to the circuit court for further proceedings. [Citation omitted.]”
