P0848 It was an abuse of the trial court's discretion to exclude evidence offered by plaintiff in opposition to a motion for summary judgment on the ground that it contradicted a statement plaintiff had made at his deposition; application of the rule that admissions of a party obtained through discovery prevail over that party's later inconsistent declarations should be limited to credible discovery admissions that are contradicted only by selfserving declarations by the same party, and does not justify the trial court's refusal to consider other evidence.CitationSCALF v D B LOG HOMES (Contradicted Deposition) 128 CA4 1510 [See: CCP 437; D'Amico v Board of Medical Examiners 11 C3 1; Scheiding v Dinwiddie 69 CA4 64, T/AT 2/99; Prilliman v United 53 CA4 935, T/AT 5/97]
