Gjersvold v. Super. Ct.
In this matter, we have reviewed the petition, the real party in interest’s response, as well as the record. We have determined that resolution of the matter involves the application of settled principles of law, and that issuance of a peremptory writ in the first instance is therefore appropriate. (Palma v. U.S. Industrial Fasteners, Inc. (1984) 36 Cal.3d 171, 178.)
It is generally stated that the appellate court reviews the trial court’s ruling on a statement of disqualification for abuse of discretion. (Grant v. Superior Court (2001) 90 Cal.App.4th 518.) However, where, as here, the facts are undisputed, we must merely apply the applicable law to those facts.
