What is the test for substantial evidence in a civil case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Palmer, C063683, Super. Ct. No. 08F01427 (Cal. App. 2012):
When a defendant claims the evidence was insufficient to sustain the verdict, our role is to determine whether "substantial evidence supports the conclusion of the trier of fact . . . ." (People v. Kainzrants (1996) 45 Cal.App.4th 1068, 1076.) "Substantial evidence is evidence that is '"reasonable, . . . credible, and of solid value."' [Citation.]" (People v. Medina (2009) 46 Cal.4th 913, 919.)
