What is the test for reviewable error in a final decision?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Gagné v. Canada (Attorney General), 2010 FC 778 (CanLII):
Today, the issue is whether the final decision contains a reviewable error that would warrant the Courts intervention. Given the case law and taking into account the usual factors, including the nature of the issue, the applicable standard of review is reasonableness (Lepiarczyk v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2008 FC 1022 at paragraphs 16 and 17 (Lepiarczyk)).
