There are several possibilities as to the finality that may be accorded to administrative fact determinations: first, findings may be conclusive and binding upon the reviewing court; second, they may be conclusive if supported by substantial evidence; third, they may be subject to independent determination by the court. To what extent, if any, the scope of review should take the …
