The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““This court has consistently adhered to the rule of Practice Book § 61-10, which provides that it is the responsibility of the appellant to provide an adequate record for review. ... It was, therefore, incumbent on the plaintiff to move for an articulation of the court’s ruling pursuant to Practice Book § 66-5. “Further, this court has held that the responsibility that arises out of Practice Book § 61-10 includes moving for articulation when the trial court has failed to state the basis of a decision ... [or when] the legal basis of a ruling is unclear .... “The plaintiffs failure to request an articulation of the court’s decision pursuant to Practice Book § 66-5 has resulted in an inadequate record for this court to review the court’s factual findings that formed the basis of its decision. Thus, [w]e are . . . left to surmise or speculate as to the existence of a factual predicate for the trial court’s [ruling]. Our role is not to guess at possibilities, but to review claims based on a complete factual record developed by a trial court. . . . Without the necessary factual and legal conclusions furnished by the trial court . . . any decision made by us respecting [the plaintiffs claims] would be entirely speculative.” (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) Id., 651-53.”
