What is the patent unreasonable standard?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Vaquerano v. 43 Housing Society, 2016 BCSC 2300 (CanLII):
The patent unreasonable standard sits at the high end of the deference spectrum. As observed in Ganitano v. Yeung, 2016 BCSC 2227, “[n]egatively defined, insufficient evidence, without more, does not meet the patent unreasonableness standard. Positively understood, the decision is patently unreasonable if it is ‘openly, clearly, evidently unreasonable’” (para. 19).
