What is the substantial evidence standard of review applicable to appeal from a jury trial?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Montoya v. San Diego Region Transdev Inc., D073411 (Cal. App. 2019):

" 'When a trial court's [or a jury's] factual determination is attacked on the ground that there is no substantial evidence to sustain it, the power of an appellate court begins and ends with the determination as to whether, on the entire record, there is substantial evidence, contradicted or uncontradicted, which will support the determination, and when two or more inferences can reasonably be deduced from the facts, a reviewing court is without power to substitute its deductions for those of the [factfinder]. If such substantial evidence be found, it is of no consequence that the [factfinder] believing other evidence, or drawing other reasonable inferences, might have reached a contrary conclusion.' [Citation.] The substantial evidence standard of review is applicable to appeals from both jury and nonjury trials." (Jameson v. Five Feet Restaurant, Inc. (2003) 107 Cal.App.4th 138, 143 (Five Feet).)
