What is the proper standard of review for a habeas corpus hearing?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Thilson v. Mountain Institution, 2011 BCSC 874 (CanLII):

The parties referred to many cases. Some recent ones that have analyzed the proper standard of review on habeas corpus hearings, such as Khela v. Mission Institution, 2011 BCSC 577 [Khela 2011], were not referred to by counsel during submissions. However, I have the positions of the parties.
