N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules § 5527: Statement in lieu of record on appeal

Rule 5527. Statement in lieu of record on appeal. When the questions

presented by an appeal can be determined without an examination of all

the pleadings and proceedings, the parties may prepare and sign a

statement showing how the questions arose and were decided in the court

from which the appeal is taken and setting forth only so much of the

facts averred and proved or sought to be proved as are necessary to a

decision of the questions. The statement may also include portions of

the transcript of the proceedings and other relevant matter. It shall

include a copy of the judgment or order appealed from, the notice of

appeal and a statement of the issues to be determined. Within twenty

days after the appellant has taken his appeal, the statement shall be

presented to the court from which the appeal is taken for approval as

the record on appeal. The court may make corrections or additions

necessary to present fully the questions raised by the appeal. The

approved statement shall be printed as a joint appendix.
