What is the test for a judge to admit or exclude evidence in a civil case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Fayed, 260 Cal.Rptr.3d 761, 460 P.3d 1149, 9 Cal.5th 147 (Cal. 2020):

that the admitted evidence was extraneous, inflammatory, and ultimately prejudicial to him. "A trial courts decision to admit or exclude evidence is reviewable for abuse of discretion." ( People v. Vieira (2005) 35 Cal.4th 264, 292, 25 Cal.Rptr.3d 337, 106 P.3d 990.)

[9 Cal.5th 171]
