Is a decision for "reasonableness" valid?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from X (Re), 2014 CanLII 95900 (CA IRB):
My objective is therefore to review the RPD’s decision for ‘reasonableness’ which is defined in the jurisprudence as “…concerned mostly with the existence of justification, transparency and intelligibility within the decision-making process. But it is also concerned with whether the decision falls within a range of possible, acceptable outcomes which are defensible in respect of the facts and law”. This understanding flows from Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9, [2008] 1 S.C.R. 190. NEW EVIDENCE
