1995(Dumas v. Cooney, supra, 235 Cal.App.3d at p. 1604 .) We find several flaws in respondent’s lost chance theory of causation.

1995Nor did respondent claim that he suffered emotional anxiety or distress associated with presentation of his testimony during his first murder trial. [11] Moreover, as neither respondent nor his attorneys knew of Wraxall's conclusions during the first murder trial, any emotional distress he then suffered can hardly be attributed to appellants' misconduct. [12] (7) Respondent claims that causation is established under the "lost chance" theory adopted in medical malpractice cases where the defendant's negligence has deprived the plaintiff of a statistically measurable chance of survival which is

1995(Simmons v. West Covina Medical Clinic, supra, 212 Cal.App.3d at p. 704 .) The “lost chance” theory is essentially a relaxed standard of causation which reduces the plaintiff’s burden of proof from a probability to a substantial possibility that medical malpractice resulted in the loss of chance of survival.

2025(See, e.g., People v. Goulart (1990) 224 Cal.App.3d 71, 80 [trial court’s award for offenses which defendant was not convicted was affirmed because restitution was a condition of probation, not a penal consequence]; People v. Beck (1993) 17 Cal.App.4th 209 , 215–216 [restitution order affirmed where defendant was sentenced to prison and restitution was ordered for dismissed counts pursuant to a Harvey waiver].) 7 Despite this relaxed standard of proof, we conclude there is insufficient evidence establishing a causal nexus between Belloli’s conduct and the loss of the truck and other tools.

What Witkin terms the “classic statement” of the contours of the trial court’s discretionary power appears in the early case of Bailey v.
