The following excerpt is from Lutfi v. Spears, B246253 (Cal. App. 2015):
17. The trial court's evaluation of the issue should begin with the Evidence Code. Evidence Code section 351 states that all relevant evidence is admissible unless it can be excluded under a specific statute or Constitutional provision. (See also People v. Heard (2003) 31 Cal.4th 946, 972-973 ["Only relevant evidence is admissible . . . , and all relevant evidence is admissible unless excluded under the federal or California Constitution or by statute," italics added].) A court order is therefore insufficient to render the evidence inadmissible.
