Does a request to continue trial for abuse of discretion in a medical malpractice case succeed?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Carson v. Carson, C079862 (Cal. App. 2018):
Although we review a trial court's denial of a request to continue trial for abuse of discretion (Cottini v. Enloe Medical Center (2014) 226 Cal.App.4th 401, 418), here there was no request to continue the trial and no subpoena compelling the sister to appear as a witness. Under the circumstances, the father's contention that the trial court abused its discretion lacks merit.
