What is the standard of review for substantial evidence in the context of a decision by the California Courts?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Cleveland Nat'l Forest Found. v. San Diego Ass'n of Gov'ts, 180 Cal.Rptr.3d 548, 231 Cal.App.4th 1056 (Cal. App. 2014):

conclusions might also be reached. (Mira Mar Mobile Community v. City of Oceanside (2004) 119 Cal.App.4th 477, 486, 14 Cal.Rptr.3d 308.) In reviewing an agency's decision for substantial evidence, courts must indulge all reasonable inferences from the evidence that would support the agency's determinations and resolve all conflicts in the evidence in favor of the agency's decision. (California Native Plant Society v. City of Santa Cruz (2009) 177 Cal.App.4th 957, 985, 99 Cal.Rptr.3d 572.) This standard of review flows from the fact that an agency has the discretion to resolve factual issues and to make policy decisions. (Save Our Peninsula Committee v. Monterey County Bd. of Supervisors (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 99, 120, 104 Cal.Rptr.2d 326.)
