What is the duty of a judge to give sufficient reasons for a decision?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Siadat v. Ontario College of Teachers, 2007 CanLII 253 (ON SCDC):
The duty to give sufficient reasons is a component of procedural fairness. That is triggered by the fact that the decision here is administrative and affects "the rights, privileges or interests of an individual". See Cardinal v. Kent Institution, 1985 CanLII 23 (SCC), [1985] 2 S.C.R. 643, [1985] S.C.J. No. 78, at p. 653 S.C.R.
