What is the test for overturning a finding of fact by an administrative tribunal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Gordon v. Justice Court of Yuba City, Sutter County, 108 Cal.Rptr. 912, 33 Cal.App.3d 230 (Cal. App. 1973):

These arguments are substantially rebutted by the language of St. Joseph Stock Yards v. United States (1935) 298 U.S. 38, 84, 56 S.Ct. 720, 740, 80 L.Ed. 1033, 1058: 'But supremacy of law does not demand that the correctness of every finding of fact to which the rule of law is to be applied shall be subject to review by a court. If it did, the power of courts to set aside findings of fact by an administrative tribunal would be broader than their power to set aside a jury's verdict. The Constitution contains no such command.'
