What is the test for a jury to find a cause of action or theory supported by substantial evidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Scott v. C.R. Bard, Inc., 180 Cal.Rptr.3d 479, 231 Cal.App.4th 763 (Cal. App. 2014):
by substantial evidence and is unaffected by error. (Tavaglione v. Billings (1993) 4 Cal.4th 1150, 1157, 17 Cal.Rptr.2d 608, 847 P.2d 574.) This rule is based on the assumption that the jury found on the cause of action or theory which was supported by substantial evidence and as to which there was no error. (Ibid. )
