What is the role of this court on an application for review an order of a judge in chambers?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Duckett v. McKinnon, 2013 BCCA 468 (CanLII):

The role of this court on an application for review an order of a judge in chambers is well-established. It was described as follows in Haldorson v. Coquitlam (City), 2000 BCCA 672, at para. 7: [T]the review hearing is not a hearing of the original application as if it were a new application brought to a division of the court rather than to a chambers judge, but is instead a review of what the chambers judge did against the test encompassed by asking: was the chambers judge wrong in law, or wrong in principle, or did the chambers judge misconceive the facts. If the chambers judge did not commit any of those errors, then the division of the court in review should not change the order of the chambers judge.
