What constitutes substantial evidence in a civil case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Arrabito v. Chaffin, D074247 (Cal. App. 2019):

" 'Substantial evidence' is evidence of ponderable legal significance, evidence that is reasonable, credible and of solid value. [Citation] . . . Inferences may constitute substantial evidence, but they must be the product of logic and reason. Speculation or conjecture alone is not substantial evidence. [Citations.] . . . [] The ultimate test is whether it is reasonable for a trier of fact to make the ruling in question in light of the whole record. [Citation.]" (Roddenberry v. Roddenberry (1996) 44 Cal.App.4th 634, 651-652.)
