What is the standard of review for decisions of arbitrators?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Ryan v. Canada (Attorney General), 2005 FC 65 (CanLII):
The Applicant submits that the standard of review would be patent unreasonableness except the interpretation of a collective agreement is a matter of law so the standard is elevated to reasonableness relying on Voice Construction Ltd v. Construction & General Workers'Union, Local 92, 2004 SCC 23 (CanLII), [2004] S.C.J. No 2. The Respondent asserts that the standard of review for decisions of arbitrators is "patently unreasonable" due to an adjudicator's institutional expertise, the broad federal labour relations context and the largely factual context.
