How does the Court of Appeal review the finding that a restraining order against an ex-girlfriend is enforceable?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Wax v. Mayfield, A142531 (Cal. App. 2015):

We uphold the injunction if there is any reasonable, credible evidence, contradicted or uncontradicted, supporting the court's findings and order. (See Schild v. Rubin (1991) 232 Cal.App.3d 755, 762.) "In assessing whether substantial evidence supports the requisite elements of willful harassment, as defined in . . . section 527.6, we review the evidence before the trial court in accordance with the customary rules of appellate review. We resolve all factual conflicts and questions of credibility in favor of the prevailing party and indulge in all legitimate and reasonable inferences to uphold the finding of the trial court if it is supported by substantial evidence which is reasonable, credible and of solid value." (Id. at p. 762.)
