British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Jackson et al v. W.C.B., 2000 BCSC 337 (CanLII):
The patently unreasonable review test “must be applied to the result not to the reasons leading to the result. In other words, if a rational basis can be found for the decision it should not be disturbed simply because of defects in the tribunal’s reasoning” Workers’ Compensation Board of British Columbia v. Kovach et al, (supra).
