The standard of review for findings of fact is that they are not to be reversed unless the arbitrator made a “palpable and overriding error”. That means an error that is “clear to the mind or plain to see”, and one which affected or “discret[ed]” the result. See Housen v. Nikolaisen ¶ 6, 10, 16-18. See also L. (H.) v. Canada (Attorney General), 2005 SCC 25 ¶ 56, 69.
