California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Beeson v. Lion Conn. Holdings Inc., A144542, A147993 (Cal. App. 2018):
4. ING mistakenly asserts that we review the issue de novo, relying on a case that used that standard when considering "a normative question of policy" (i.e., whether a plaintiff's use of marijuana before driving constitutes a superseding cause of an accident). (Pedeferri v. Seidner Enterprises (2013) 216 Cal.App.4th 359, 372.)
