What is the standard of review for a motion to overturn an order from a lower court?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Andrews v. Willard Marine, Inc., G053821 (Cal. App. 2017):
If the lower court's order is based on a finding of fact, we use a substantial evidence standard on review. Issues of law, however, are reviewed de novo. (Buckner v. Tamarin (2002) 98 Cal.App.4th 140, 142.)
