Holding
The court held that when a trial‑court finding is required to be supported by clear and convincing evidence, an appellate court reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence must determine whether the record, viewed in the light most favorable to the prevailing party, contains **substantial evidence** from which a reasonable trier of fact could have found the fact “highly probable” – i.e., the level of certainty demanded by the clear and convincing standard. ---
