Cal. Public Resources Code § 21168.5 : California Public Resources Code — Environmental Quality — Limitations — Prejudicial abuse of discretion

Current through the 2016 Legislative Session

In any action or proceeding, other than an action or proceeding under Section 21168, to attack, review, set aside, void or annul a determination, finding, or decision of a public agency on the grounds of noncompliance with this division, the inquiry shall extend only to whether there was a prejudicial abuse of discretion.

Abuse of discretion is established if the agency has not proceeded in a manner required by law or if the determination or decision is not supported by substantial evidence.
