The factual findings of a [trial referee] on any issue are reversible only if they are clearly erroneous. ... [A reviewing court] cannot retry the facts or pass upon the credibility of the witnesses. ... A finding of fact is clearly erroneous when there is no evidence in the record to support it . . . or when although there is evidence to support it, the reviewing court on the entire evidence is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed.” (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted). Meadows v. Higgins, 249 Conn. 155, 162, 733 A.2d 172 (1999). Thus, the findings of the referee will be disturbed only if they are clearly erroneous. I THE DEFENDANTS’ LIABILITY UNDER § 47a-21 (d) (2)
