*819The defendant challenges several of the referee’s findings as well as the resulting award and the court’s acceptance of it. The defendant cites no case law, no statutes and no legal authority whatsoever in his appellate brief. Rather, his brief contains six pages of “objections” relating to the findings of the referee and award of damages. Additionally, in contravention of Practice Book § 19-14, the defendant failed to file with the trial court a transcript of the evidence taken before the referee. “Practice Book § 19-14 requires that a party objecting to the acceptance of a referee’s report ‘must file with the party’s objections a transcript of the evidence taken . . . ,’3 Practice Book § 19-14. The obvious purpose of that requirement is to present the court with the necessary transcripts of evidence to consider a party’s objection and to determine whether there is support in the record for the referee’s findings of fact. ” (Internal quotation marks omitted.)
