Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Blatz v Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal, 2016 ONSC 7259 (CanLII):
In this context, the decision as to whether a decision is reasonable must be reviewed by considering whether the decision has been justified, is transparent and intelligible and whether the decision falls within a range of possible, acceptable outcomes which are defensible in respect of the facts and law. (Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, [2008] SCC 9, paras 47 and 51).
