Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP v. Behdad Hosseini et al., 2021 ONSC 379 (CanLII):
The standard of review with respect to decisions of assessment officers is set out in Rabbani v. Niagara (Regional Municipality), 2012 ONCA 280, at para. 6: The standard of review on an appeal from an assessment officer’s decision is well established. The order below is discretionary. The hearing is an appeal, not an opportunity for the reviewing court to rehear the assessment and come to its own conclusion as to what is reasonable, absent an error in law, misapprehension of the evidence, palpable and overriding error on the factual matter, or an assessment amount that is so unreasonable as to constitute an error in principle.
