Is there any case law where a defence counsel sought to exclude the evidence of a witness in a civil case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Lopez, G057497 (Cal. App. 2019):
Yes. Defense counsel sought to exclude this evidence on the grounds it was not relevant, lacked foundation, was speculative, and was more prejudicial than probative under Evidence Code section 352. The court properly overruled these objections, and did not abuse its broad discretion to admit this evidence. (People v. Holford (2012) 203 Cal.App.4th 155, 167.)
