In a personal injury action brought by Husband against his ex-partner in a civil case, is the husband permitted to introduce prior inconsistent statements or party admissions pursuant to the hearsay rule?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Saadalla v. Saadalla, G045027 (Cal. App. 2012):
Husband argues the court erred in refusing to allow the introduction of prior inconsistent statements or party admissions pursuant to the well established exceptions to the hearsay rule. (Evid. Code, 1220 and 1235.)2 We review the trial court's rulings on the admission of evidence for abuse of discretion. (People v. Waidla (2000) 22 Cal.4th 690, 724.) We find no abuse of discretion here.
