What is the standard of review in an appeal?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from White v. Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario, 2006 CanLII 17320 (ON SCDC):

As confirmed in Pezim v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Brokers), 1994 CanLII 103 (SCC), [1994] 2 S.C.R. 557 at 598-99, in such appeal, the court should undertake a pragmatic and functional analysis to determine the standard of review. It is within such analysis that the court shall determine on the spectrum of deference, beginning with correctness at one end and patent unreasonableness at the other end, whether the determination of the committee withstands judicial scrutiny.
