What is the scope of our review on appeal against the denial of an administrative decision in denying the petition?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Gobin v. Alexis, 153 Cal.App.3d 641, 200 Cal.Rptr. 397 (Cal. App. 1984):

On appeal, the scope of our review is limited to determining whether there was substantial evidence to support the trial court's findings and judgment in denying the petition. (McConville v. Alexis (1979) 97 Cal.App.3d 593, 159 Cal.Rptr. 49.) The record indicates that the trial court properly exercised its independent judgment in finding that the administrative decision was supported by the findings, and that the findings were supported by the weight of the evidence.
