The following excerpt is from Bray v. International Molders & Allied Workers Union, 155 Cal.App.3d 608, 202 Cal.Rptr. 269 (Cal. App. 1984):
There is high authority holding that union proceedings in which an officer is expelled for an indefinite period need only be supported by "some evidence." (Boilermakers v. Hardeman, 401 U.S. 233, 245-246, 91 S.Ct. 609, 616-617, 28 L.Ed.2d 609.)
California's high court holds that judicial determinations whether an asserted claim is of a "fundamental vested right" must be made on a "case-by-case" analysis. (Merrill v. Department of Motor Vehicles, 71 Cal.2d 907, 915, 80 Cal.Rptr. 89, 458 P.2d 33.)
