What is the standard of review for questions of fact and law?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Panahi-Dargahlloo v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2009 FC 1114 (CanLII):
The standard of review for most questions of law is correctness. The standard of review for questions of fact, and for questions of mixed fact and law, is reasonableness as set out in Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9 (Dunsmuir). Where previous jurisprudence has established the standard of review for a particular matter, then that standard of review will be applied having regard to Dunsmuir at para. 57.
