What is the test for an abuse of evidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Scott v. C.R. Bard, Inc., 180 Cal.Rptr.3d 479, 231 Cal.App.4th 763 (Cal. App. 2014):
We review the trial court's rulings on the admissibility of evidence for an abuse of discretion. A court's discretion is abused where there is a clear showing that the ruling exceeded the bounds of reason, all of the circumstances being considered. Moreover, if the trial court errs, reversal of the judgment is not required unless the error resulted in a miscarriage of justice. (Saxena v. Goffney (2008) 159 Cal.App.4th 316, 332, 71 Cal.Rptr.3d 469 (Saxena ).)
