Heading: Appeal From the Award of Damages

Text: [¶ 10] The actual focus of Putnam's appeal is the trial court's assessment of damages on his quantum meruit claim. Putnam asserts that the court should have awarded him the entire amount billed to Albee. [5] Because the assessment of damages is a factual determination, we will not disturb a damage award unless there is no basis in the record to support it. See VanVoorhees v. Dodge, 679 A.2d 1077, 1081 (Me.1996). Putnam had the responsibility for providing the Court with a record adequate for appellate review. See Daicy v. Warren, 600 A.2d 406, 407 (Me.1991). When an appellant has failed to provide a transcript of the proceedings below, we must assume that the record would support the trial court's findings and evidentiary rulings. See Lamb v. Euclid Ambler Assocs., 563 A.2d 365, 367 (Me.1989) (citing Baker v. Baker, 444 A.2d 982, 984 (Me.1982)). We therefore affirm the judgment. [6] The entry is Judgments affirmed.
