p0404 In a civil action, in the absence of exceptional circumstances, an attorney is not entitled to be present during the mental examination of a party; a trial court abused its discretion by permitting attorneys to be present, by prohibiting the examining psychologist from asking questions that would elicit responses described only as "narrative," and by directing that only the responses be recorded by a court reporter.CitationGOLFLAND v SUPERIOR COURT (Mental Examination) 108 CA4 739 [See: CCP 2032; Edwards v Superior Court 16 C3 905; Greyhound v Superior Court 56 C2 355]
