What is the test for reviewing a trial court's exercise of discretionary powers?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Lamelza v. Lindsay, G057421 (Cal. App. 2019):
The trial court's exercise of its discretionary powers are reviewed for abuse of that discretion. "An abuse of discretion occurs if, in light of the applicable law and considering all of the relevant circumstances, the court's decision exceeds the bounds of reason and results in a miscarriage of justice." (Uzyel v. Kadisha, supra, 188 Cal.App.4th at p. 894.)
