It shall not be necessary for the record on appeal to be approved by the respondent court. But if any discrepancy should arise with regard to whether the record faithfully reflects what occurred in the respondent court, the matter shall be submitted to said court, which shall settle the issue and conform the record to the truth. If by mistake or accident, any part of the record which is important to any of the parties, is omitted or mis-stated, the parties, by stipulation, or the respondent court, before or after the record is transmitted to the Circuit Court of Appeals, or the Circuit Court of Appeals motu proprio, or by petition of a party, may order that the omission be furnished or the misstatement corrected, and if necessary, that a supplemental record be certified or forwarded by the clerk of the respondent court. Any other question regarding the content and form of the record shall be presented to the Circuit Court of Appeals. History —Dec. 25, 1995, No. 251, § 12, eff. May 1, 1996.
