What is the standard of reasonableness of a judicial review of a decision made by a Superintendent of Motor Vehicles?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Wieruszewski v British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2019 BCSC 316 (CanLII):

It is well established that on an application for judicial review of an adjudicator’s decision, the court must apply a standard of reasonableness. Judicial review judges are not to finely parse the adjudicator’s decision, but must read the reasons as a whole in order to assess whether the reasoning is so lacking in logic, or is otherwise flawed, that it renders the decision unreasonable: Kenyon v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2015 BCCA 485 at para. 53.
