What is the test for a reasonable standard of conduct in a personal injury case?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Sowemimo v. College of Physicians & Surgeons of Manitoba, 2014 MBQB 4 (CanLII):
Where the reasonable standard applies, it requires the affording of a certain deference. In applying the standard of “reasonableness”, the reviewing court must determine if the outcome falls within a range of possible, acceptable outcomes which are defensible in respect of the facts and law. See Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9, [2008] 1 S.C.R. 190 at para. 47.
