What is the test for admitting or denying relevance evidence in a personal injury case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Winn, 253 Cal.Rptr.3d 821, 40 Cal.App.5th 1213 (Cal. App. 2019):
" Relevant evidence means evidence, including evidence relevant to the credibility of a witness or hearsay declarant, having any tendency in reason to prove or disprove any disputed fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action." ( Evid. Code, 210.) We apply the abuse of discretion standard of review to the admission of evidence over relevance objections. ( People v. Kipp (2001) 26 Cal.4th 1100, 1123, 113 Cal.Rptr.2d 27, 33 P.3d 450.)
