What is the test for reversing a finding of not providing relevant evidence in a civil case?

The trial court has considerable discretion to determine whether evidence is relevant, and whether its probative value would be substantially outweighed by undue consumption of the court's time, or by confusing the issues and misleading the jury. (Evid. Code, 352.) We reverse only if the court's exercise of discretion was arbitrary, capricious, or absurd, and if the result

was a "manifest miscarriage of justice." (People v. Guerra (2006) 37 Cal.4th 1067, 1113.)
