II. STANDARD OF REIVEW

Pursuant to NRS 612.530(4), if the Board of Review’s finding of facts is supported by

evidence and without fraud, the jurisdiction of the court is confined to questions of law. See also

Employment Security Dept. v. Verrati, 104 Nev. 302, 756 P.2d 1196 (1988).

The district court's function is to review the final administrative determination for

arbitrariness, capriciousness, or a lack of substantial evidence. Employment Security Dept. v.

Weber, 100 Nev. 121, 676 P.2d 1318 (1984). Substantial evidence is that “quantity and quality

of evidence which a reasonable person could accept as adequate to support a conclusion.”

Employment Security Dept. v. Cline, 109 Nev. 74, 847 P.2d 736 (1993). Employment Security

Dept. v. Hilton Hotels, 102 Nev. 606, 608 n.1, 729 P.2d 497, 498 n.1 (1986) (citation omitted).

The court must review de novo all questions of law including an agency’s interpretation

of a statute. SIIS v. United Exposition Services, 109 Nev. Adv. Op 5 (1993); Employment

Security Dept. v. Capri Resorts, 104 Nev. 527, 763 P.2d 50, 51 (1988); Jones vs. Rosner, 102

Nev. 215, 719 P. 2d 805, 806 (1986).
