R5527 - Statement in lieu of record on appeal.

Rule  5527.  Statement in lieu of record on appeal. When the questions
  presented by an appeal can be determined without an examination  of  all
  the  pleadings  and  proceedings,  the  parties  may  prepare and sign a
  statement showing how the questions arose and were decided in the  court
  from  which  the  appeal  is taken and setting forth only so much of the
  facts averred and proved or sought to be proved as are  necessary  to  a
  decision  of  the  questions. The statement may also include portions of
  the transcript of the proceedings and other relevant  matter.  It  shall
  include  a  copy  of  the judgment or order appealed from, the notice of
  appeal and a statement of the issues to  be  determined.  Within  twenty
  days  after  the  appellant has taken his appeal, the statement shall be
  presented to the court from which the appeal is taken  for  approval  as
  the  record  on  appeal.  The  court  may  make corrections or additions
  necessary to present fully the  questions  raised  by  the  appeal.  The
  approved statement shall be printed as a joint appendix.
