What is the test for establishing a finding of fact in a motion to be heard by the Court of Appeal?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Valdez v. Valdez, G046990 (Cal. App. 2013):

"'"When a finding of fact 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 there is any substantial evidence, contradicted or uncontradicted, which will support the finding of fact. [Citations.] [] 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 trial court."'" (Spencer v. Marshall (2008) 168 Cal.App.4th 783, 792-793.)
