What is a reasonable inference when it comes to conclusions that are contrary to uncontradicted evidence that reasonable people would not doubt?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Kuhn v. Department of General Services, 22 Cal.App.4th 1627, 29 Cal.Rptr.2d 191 (Cal. App. 1994):

4 "Reasonable" inferences do not include those which are contrary to uncontradicted evidence of such a nature that reasonable people would not doubt it. (Gaffney v. Downey Savings & Loan Assn. (1988) 200 Cal.App.3d 1154, 1168, 246 Cal.Rptr. 421.)
