California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Kishida v. Shiomoto, G049242 (Cal. App. 2015):
On appeal, we generally review the trial court's decision "'to determine whether [its] findings are supported by substantial evidence.'" (Lake v. Reed, supra, 16 Cal.4th at p. 457.) But on issues involving "statutory or regulatory interpretation, . . . we may exercise our independent judgment." (Manriquez v. Gourley, supra, 105 Cal.App.4th at p. 1233.)
