What is the legal test for judicial review of an administrative decision?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Trinity Western University v. The Law Society of British Columbia, 2015 BCSC 2326 (CanLII):
The two standards for judicial review of administrative decision are reasonableness and correctness: Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9 at para. 34 [Dunsmuir].[2] In applying the former, the court gives the administrative body a measure of deference; in applying the latter, the court evaluates the decision without deference for the administrative body, and, if necessary, substitutes its own judgment in place of the original decision.
