How does the court determine the adequacy of evidence in a case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Pham v. Trinh (In re Marriage of Pham), H045568 (Cal. App. 2020):
sufficiency of the evidence, we determine whether there is any substantial evidence, even if contradicted, to support the court's finding. We do not resolve conflicts in the evidence but rather accept as true the evidence tending to establish the court was correct. (Sabbah v. Sabbah (2007) 151 Cal.App.4th 818, 822-823.)
