Although the claim is reviewable, as the record is ade- quate for review and the claim is of constitutional mag- nitude; see State v. Boyd, 115 Conn. App. 556, 562 , 973 A.2d 138 (constitutionally axiomatic that jury be instructed on essential elements of crime charged), cert. denied, 293 Conn. 912 , 978 A.2d 1110 (2009); we are not persuaded that the instructions were inadequate and, therefore, we conclude that the claim fails under the third prong of Golding. ‘‘Our standard of review with regard to claims of instructional error is well established.

Practice Book § 10-60 (a) (1) permits oral amendments to the pleadings by order of a “judicial authority”; see Burton v. Stamford, 115 Conn. App. 47, 60 , 971 A.2d 739 , cert. denied, 293 Conn. 912 , 978 A.2d 1108 (2009); but an attorney fact finder is not a “judicial authority” and, therefore, may not grant a motion to amend the pleadings.

Rather, [t]he modern trend, which is followed in Connecticut, is to construe pleadings broadly and realistically, rather than narrowly and technically. . . . [T]he complaint must be read in its entirety in such a way as to give effect to the pleading with reference to the general theory upon which it proceeded, and do substantial justice between the parties.’’ (Internal quotation marks omitted.)); see also Burton v.
