What is the test of no evidence to support patently unreasonable claims?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Watts v. Superintendendent of Motor Vehicles and the Attorney General of British Columbia, 2002 BCSC 1877 (CanLII):
This strict test of no evidence to support patently unreasonable has been applied in the context here by Hunter J. in Siemens v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), [1997] B.C.J. No. 2596 (Q.L.) (S.C.) where at paragraphs 8 to 10 the learned justice said that so long as there is some evidence upon which a finding could reasonably be reached, it is not appropriate for the court to interfere, and that the test for interfering with a tribunal's finding of fact is a strict one. A court cannot interfere where the evidence is simply insufficient.
