The following excerpt is from 20198959 (Re), 2019 CanLII 104782 (NB WCAT):

So, if we accept the definition found in Law Society of New Brunswick v. Ryan, the threshold for finding the policies patently unreasonable is that I must find that they are clearly irrational or evidently not in accordance with reason. Put another way, the policies must be obviously defective.
