Heading: Commissioner's Refusal to Allow Recall of Dr. Pritchard

Text: Madore argues that the Commissioner refused to allow him to recall Dr. Pritchard to testify. The record does not reflect any such request by Madore or ruling by the Commissioner. [4] Bald factual assertions in a brief are not appropriate substitutes for the record on appeal. State v. Lang, Me., 396 A.2d 1012, 1013 (1979). When an inadequate record is presented to the Law Court to support an issue raised on appeal, such appeal must fail. Id.; Berry v. Berry, Me., 388 A.2d 108, 109 (1978). The entry is: Pro forma judgment affirmed. It is ordered that the employer pay to the employee $550.00 for his counsel fees plus his actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of this appeal. All concurring.
