What is the test for reasonable persons to disagree with when a member of the House of Representatives is required to attend a hearing?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from McQueen's Boat Works Ltd. v. Lanikai Holdings Ltd., 1995 CanLII 493 (BC SC):
19 Reasonable persons can disagree, as Madam Justice Southin reminded us in Bennett v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Brokers) (1993), 87 B.C.L.R. (2d) at 31. The reasonable person is, of course, a mythical creature of the law. In a matter as close to the line as this, some reasonable persons might say "What's the problem?" and others might well say "It does not seem quite right for him to sit". Those who gave the first answer might well say that those who gave the second were suffering from needless scrupulosity.
