What expertise does the reviewing court have in general legal reasoning and statutory interpretation?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kerton v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Tribunal, 2010 BCSC 644 (CanLII):
The expertise of the reviewing court lies in “general legal reasoning and statutory interpretation”: Ross v. New Brunswick School District No. 15, 1996 CanLII 237 (SCC), [1996] 1 S.C.R. 825, at para. 28. I bear in mind the contention that a tribunal will have more expertise in the statutory interpretation of its own “home” statute.
