What is the test for reasonableness of an Arbitrator's decision?

Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada


The following excerpt is from Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Public and Private Employees v. Rigolet Inuit Community Government, 2019 NLSC 232 (CanLII):

Every element of the Arbitrator’s thought process need not independently pass the test for reasonableness. Rather, the question is whether the reasons taken as a whole are tenable as support for the decision (Ryan v. Law Society (New Brunswick), 2003 SCC 20, at para.56).
