Does our standard of review change from the standard at the trial level, clear and convincing evidence?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Duran v. Cain, B276097 (Cal. App. 2017):

13. The standard at the trial level, clear and convincing evidence, does not alter our standard of review because "all we are required to find is substantial evidence to support a determination by clear and convincing evidence [citation] . . . ." (Tomaselli v. Transamerica Ins. Co. (1994) 25 Cal.App.4th 1269, 1287.)
