California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Davis v. Cnty. of Fresno, 22 Cal.App.5th 1122, 232 Cal.Rptr.3d 324 (Cal. App. 2018):
An appellate court reviewing a final administrative decision examines the superior court's findings of fact to determine if the findings are supported by substantial evidence. ( Beckley v. Board of Administration (2013) 222 Cal.App.4th 691, 697, 166 Cal.Rptr.3d 51.) The appellate court independently reviews the superior court's determinations of questions of law. ( Ibid . )
