Frye Rule A ruling by a Federal Court of Appeals (United States v. Frye, 293 F 1013—DC Cir 1923) in a criminal case in which the defendant sought to present evidence that a crude, scientifically invalid and unaccepted test showed that he was telling the truth. That court said, ‘...abandonment of the general acceptance requirement could result in a free-for-all in which befuddled juries would be confounded by absurd and irrational pseudoscientific assertions’ Want to thank TFD for its existence?

This displaced the Frye test of general acceptance in federal courts, giving trial judges leeway to determine that new and novel scientific ideas and techniques are reliable and admissible as a basis for expert witness testimony even though they have not yet gained general acceptance in the scientific community. 21) Standards for Expert Testimony on Mold In a short but illuminating October 2003 National Law Journal article, (22) John Parker Sweeney points out that the success of toxic mold claims depends largely on whether the plaintiff lives in a state using the Daubert standard for expert testimony or a state that still applies the old Frye test based on the 1923 case of Frye v. 55) See infra note 57 and accompanying text (explaining conflict with Frye test and Federal Rule of Evidence 702). |
