In applying the substantial evidence standard of review, does the court need to view the evidence in the light of the prevailing party?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Cal. Alliance Telecard, Inc. v. Holly Distribution Grp., LLC, A149755 (Cal. App. 2018):

In applying the substantial evidence standard of review, " 'the power of an appellate court begins and ends with a determination as to whether there is any substantial evidence, contradicted or uncontradicted,' to support the findings below. [Citation.] We must therefore view the evidence in the light most favorable to the prevailing party, giving it the benefit of every reasonable inference and resolving all conflicts in its favor in accordance with the standard of review so long adhered to by this court. [Citations.]" (Jessup Farms v. Baldwin (1983) 33 Cal.3d 639, 660.)
