The opinion

J. P. Celebrezze, J.,

dissenting. I respectfully dissent. An appellate court’s scope of review of the trial court’s factual determinations is limited to whether there is a substantial evidentiary basis for the determinations. See Gillen-Crow Pharmacies, Inc. v. Mandzak (1966), 5 Ohio St. 2d 201, 205 [ 34 O.O.2d 417 ]. Having examined the record, I believe there is. Hence the appellate court’s judgment should be reversed.
