What is considered substantial evidence in the context of the definition of the word "substantial evidence"?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from APR Constr., Inc. v. City of San Diego, D075422 (Cal. App. 2020):

" '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.)
