What is the relevance of an order or challenged evidence in a personal injury action?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Craig, B256794 (Cal. App. 2015):

We reject appellant's claim as unavailing. Appellant never objected to the introduction into evidence of the order or the challenged evidence. She therefore waived the admissibility issues of whether the order and challenged evidence were relevant or excludable under Evidence Code section 352. (Cf. People v. Benson (1990) 52 Cal.3d 754, 786-787, fn. 7; Evid. Code, 353.)

Even if the issues were not waived, appellant's claim lacks merit. As to relevance, Evidence Code section 210, states, in pertinent part, " '[r]elevant evidence' means evidence . . . having any tendency in reason to prove or disprove any disputed fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action." An appellate court applies an abuse of discretion standard of review to any ruling by a trial court concerning relevance. (People v. Waidla (2000) 22 Cal.4th 690, 717-718 (Waidla).)
