What is the test for overturning a finding of substantial compliance with section 1531 of the California Criminal Code?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Mayer, 188 Cal.App.3d 1101, 233 Cal.Rptr. 832 (Cal. App. 1987):

Assuming, arguendo, that the superior court erred in finding substantial compliance with section 1531, we nevertheless conclude compliance was excused for the reasons set forth earlier in this opinion. A decision of a trial court on a search and seizure issue will not be reversed if based on erroneous reasoning where the correct result was reached. "The inquiry on appeal is whether, in fact, the decision of the trial court was correct, not the reasons he may have stated for making it." (People v. Towner (1968) 259 Cal.App.2d 682, 685, 66 Cal.Rptr. 559.)
