What is the test for reversal of a judgment in a civil case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Holt, 208 Cal.Rptr. 547, 37 Cal.3d 436, 690 P.2d 1207 (Cal. 1984):
We must decide whether the erroneously admitted evidence, the improper impeachment and prosecutorial misconduct constituted prejudicial error, requiring reversal of the judgment. The test as enunciated in People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818, 836, 299 P.2d 243 is whether "it is reasonably probable that a result more favorable to the appealing party would have been reached in the absence of the error."
