What is the standard for determining harmless beyond a reasonable doubt in a civil case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Moore, E062293 (Cal. App. 2015):
Defendant contends the harmless beyond a reasonable doubt standard should apply because the court's error impacted defendant's constitutional right to confront witnesses. (Chapman v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 18, 24.) For the sake of judicial efficiency, we will apply the standard defendant has selected. Under the Chapman standard we consider whether, beyond a reasonable doubt, the error did not contribute to the verdict. (Ibid.)
