Garcia v. Boise Cascade Corp‪.‬

In this workers compensation case, the Court of Appeals concluded that the referees findings of fact, which were affirmed by the Workers Compensation Board, are not supported by substantial evidence. Garcia v. Boise Cascade Corp., 94 Or App 362, 765 P2d 1245 (1988). Substantial evidence supports a finding when the record, viewed as a whole, permits a reasonable person to make the finding. ORS 183.482(8)(c). Because we conclude that the Court of Appeals did not correctly apply the substantial evidence standard of review, we reverse its decision and remand the case to the Court of Appeals.
