What is the standard of review in a mandamus proceeding?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Today's Fresh Start, Inc. v. Los Angeles County Office of Educ., B212966, B214470 (Cal. App. 2011):

mandamus proceeding, the appellate court reviews the record to determine whether the trial court's judgment is supported by substantial evidence. [Citations.] [] Questions of law, on the other hand, are subject to a de novo standard of review. [Citations.] The proper interpretation of a statute, and its application to undisputed facts, presents a question of law that the appellate court reviews independently. [Citations.]" (Dobos v. Voluntary Plan Administrators, Inc. (2008) 166 Cal.App.4th 678, 683.)
