I propose to begin by setting out the applicable standards of review. A judicial review is not the same as an appeal. It is limited here to determining whether the decision makers, in this case the arbitrators, acted strictly within the powers that have been delegated to them under the RTA. Judicial review focuses almost entirely on jurisdictional issues. Jurisdictional defects may include, for example, bias or reasonable apprehension of bias, not considering relevant matters, making serious procedural errors or, in some circumstances, making an error of law. A discussion of most of these general principles may be found in Mikami v. Ambrozewicz, 2000 BCSC 1116.
