What is the test for determining whether an administrative decision was prejudicial?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Los Angeles Unified School Dist. v. City of Los Angeles, 58 Cal.App.4th 1019, 68 Cal.Rptr.2d 367 (Cal. App. 1997):
On appeal we review the administrative record de novo to determine if a prejudicial abuse of discretion occurred; we are not bound by the trial court's conclusion. (Gentry v. City of Murrieta (1995) 36 Cal.App.4th 1359, 1375-1376, 43 Cal.Rptr.2d 170.) "An abuse of discretion is established if the agency has not proceeded in a manner required by law or if the determination or decision is not supported by substantial evidence." ( 21168.5.)
