What is the test for setting aside a finding by a judge in a motion for discovery?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Martin v. Superior Court of Orange Cnty., G046938 (Cal. App. 2013):

"'Management of discovery lies within the sound discretion of the trial court. Consequently, appellate review of discovery rulings is governed by the abuse of discretion standard. [Citation.] Where there is a basis for the trial court's ruling and the evidence supports it, a reviewing court will not substitute its opinion for that of the trial court. [Citation.]' [Citation.] The trial court's determination will be set aside only when it has been established that there was no legal justification for the order granting or denying the discovery in question. [Citation.]" (Save Open Space Santa Monica Mountains v. Superior Court (2000) 84 Cal.App.4th 235, 245-246.)
