The California Supreme Court holds that clear-and-convincing-evidence standard does not disappear on appeal. Instead, when reviewing a finding that must be proven by clear and convincing evidence, an appellate court must determine whether there was sufficient evidence to satisfy that heightened standard. The California Supreme Court’s reasoning generally tracked the Chamber’s amicus brief, and it relied on several out-of-state decisions cited only in our brief.
