What is the standard of review for appeal from an administrative decision on a question of law alone?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Miller v. College of Optometrists of Ontario, 2020 ONSC 2573 (CanLII):
An appeal from an administrative decision on a question of law alone would apply the standard of correctness, in accordance with Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235, at para. 8. Where the scope of the statutory appeal includes questions of fact, the appellate standard of review for those questions is palpable and overriding error (as it is for questions of mixed fact and law where the legal principle is not readily extricable).
