California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Begaren, G050177 (Cal. App. 2016):
The standard of review testing a trial court's ruling on whether a proper foundation has been laid for the business records exception is abuse of discretion. (People v. Hovarter (2008) 44 Cal.4th 983, 1011.) That is, we look to whether the decision was reasonable under the circumstances. (People v. Dean (2009) 174 Cal.App.4th 186, 193.)
