What is the test for giving an instruction to a jury in a personal injury case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Hunter, A130641 (Cal. App. 2011):
The challenged instruction was given in this case because, as in People v. Colantuono (1994) 7 Cal.4th 206, the trial judge much too quickly assumed "that a correct statement of substantive law will provide a sound basis for charging the jury." (Id. at p. 221, fn. 13; accord, People v. Adams (1987) 196 Cal.App.3d 201, 204-205
