What is the test for reasonableness at a tribunal?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Nova Scotia (Director of Assessment) v. Wolfson, 2008 NSCA 120 (CanLII):
In applying reasonableness, the court examines the tribunal’s decision, first to identify an intelligible line of reasoning to a conclusion, then second to determine whether that conclusion is within the range of acceptable outcomes. Dunsmuir, ¶ 47, 49; Lake v. Canada (Minister of Justice), 2008 SCC 23 at ¶ 41; PANS Pension Plan ¶ 63.
