In a personal injury action, is defendant's claim that the trial court did not rule on her petition for reduction?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Bilbrey, C078979 (Cal. App. 2017):
Although defendant contends that the trial court did not rule on her petition for reduction, the record is clear that the court denied the petition. Although the stated reason for the court's denial was that the petition had already been decided, which was incorrect, "we review the result, not the reasoning. A decision right in result will not be reversed because it is based on an erroneous theory. [Citation.]" (Florio v. Lau (1998) 68 Cal.App.4th 637, 653.)
