What is the correctness standard for determining findings of fact or inferences drawn from the facts?

Findings of fact, or inferences drawn from the facts are reviewed on a standard of palpable and overriding error. Matters involving questions of law are subject to a correctness standard. When the matter is one of mixed fact and law and there is an extricable question of law, the question of law will be reviewed on a correctness standard. Otherwise, it is reviewed on a palpable and overriding standard. (Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33). Analysis
