What is the test for determining the relevance of evidence in a civil case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Stark, 11 Cal.Rptr.2d 207, 13 Cal.App.4th 1357 (Cal. App. 1992):
If the court determines the evidence is relevant, the court then must also determine whether its probative value substantially outweighs its prejudicial effect. (Evid.Code, 352.) The court must affirmatively articulate it has weighed probative value against prejudice. (People v. Farmer (1989) 47 Cal.3d 888, 906, 254 Cal.Rptr. 508, 765 P.2d 940.)
