What is the standard of review for an incompetent person?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Zuidema Farms Inc. v. Grant, 2010 SKCA 105 (CanLII):
Insofar as this issue is a question of the interpretation of s. 6, it is a question of law governed by the standard of review of correctness. The question of whether someone is incompetent, however, is governed by the deferential standard of review established for the review of a finding of fact (see: Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235).
