What is the standard of review for discovery orders?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Mack Film Dev. v. Johnson, B210933, No. BC335581 (Cal. App. 2010):
"'The standard of review for a discovery order is abuse of discretion, because management of discovery lies within the sound discretion of the trial court. [Citation.] Thus, where there is a basis for the trial court's ruling and it is supported by the evidence, a reviewing court will not substitute its opinion for that of the trial court.' [Citations.]" (Lee v. Superior Court (2009) 177 Cal.App.4th 1108, 1124-1125.)
