What is the test for determining relevancy and probative value under the Alberta Evidence Code?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Arroyo, D062365 (Cal. App. 2013):
A trial court has broad discretion to determine relevancy and whether probative value is outweighed by concerns of undue prejudice under Evidence Code section 352. (People v. Horning (2004) 34 Cal.4th 871, 900.) We do not disturb the trial court's ruling unless the court exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious, or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice. (People v. Rodrigues (1994) 8 Cal.4th 1060, 1124.)
