Is it harmless error to exclude evidence in a civil case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Rosales, B257795 (Cal. App. 2015):

Rosales contends we must base our harmless error analysis on the federal standard articulated in Chapman v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 18, because his constitutional rights were violated. Given the facts stated above, it was harmless error to exclude the evidence even under the higher Chapman standard.
