New Brunswick, Canada


The following excerpt is from Ayangma v University of Moncton, 2019 NBQB 31 (CanLII):

Under the circumstances, the standard of review for the arbitrator’s decision is reasonableness. Reasonableness is concerned mostly with the existence of justification, transparency and intelligibility within the decision-making process and with whether the decision falls within a range of possible, acceptable outcomes which are defensible in respect of the facts and the law (see Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick 2008 SCC 9).
