Does the substantial evidence rule apply to an administrative body?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Old Town Development Corp. v. Urban Renewal Agency of City of Monterey, 249 Cal.App.2d 313, 57 Cal.Rptr. 426 (Cal. App. 1967):

In re Redevelopment Plan for Bunker Hill, supra, 61 Cal.2d 21, 37 Cal.Rptr. 74, 389 P.2d 538, answered this question by pointing out that even under section 1094.5 the substantial evidence rule applies to administrative bodies which are not statewide in scope. 'Thus, it becomes immaterial whether the actions of the agency and of the city council in adoption of the Bunker Hill project be termed 'legislative' (citation), or 'administrative' (citation); in either event the trial court was correct in its refusal to reweigh the evidence and in confining itself to determining whether the findings and determinations of the inferior bodies were supported by substantial evidence. (Citation.)' (61 Cal.2d p. 40, see pp. 37--41, 37 CalRptr. p. 86, 389 P.2d p. 350; accord: Berggren v. Moore (1964) 61 Cal.2d 347, 349, 38 Cal.Rptr. 722, 392 P.2d 522.)
