What is the test for a decision in a personal injury action?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Hudson v. Canada (Indian Affairs and Northern Development), 2007 FC 203 (CanLII):
A decision will only be found to be unreasonable if there is no line of analysis within the reasons that could reasonably lead the decision-maker from the evidence to the conclusion. A decision may be reasonable “if it is supported by a tenable explanation even if this explanation is not one that the reviewing court finds compelling”. See: Law Society of New Brunswick v. Ryan, [2003] 1 S.C.R. 247, 2003 SCC 20 at ¶ 55.
