How does the substantial evidence standard apply to a restraining order?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from L.A. Cnty. Dep't of Children & Family Servs. v. Angela M. (In re Logan L.), B291011 (Cal. App. 2019):
An appellate court applies the substantial evidence standard of review to the trial court's factual findings in support of the order (Sabbah v. Sabbah (2007) 151 Cal.App.4th 818, 822), and an abuse of discretion standard to review the grant or denial of the restraining order. (See Gonzalez v. Munoz (2007) 156 Cal.App.4th 413, 420.) The trial court abuses its discretion when its ruling exceeds the bounds of reason. (Ibid.)
