What is the current state of the law in Canada on the basis of the adjudicator’s reasoning?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Jack v British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2017 BCSC 2021 (CanLII):

The Court of Appeal made it clear that “judges should read the reasons of the adjudicator as a whole in order to assess whether the reasoning is…flawed [and] renders the decision unreasonable despite the fact there is some evidence to support a conclusion that the decision falls within a range of acceptable outcomes”: see Kenyon v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2015 BCCA 485 at paras. 53-55. In this case, the flaw in the Adjudicator’s reasoning was central to their conclusion on the point of what evidence could be considered.
