What is the standard of review in a personal injury case?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Moore v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2013 BCSC 1928 (CanLII):

The respondents argue that the standard of review is reasonableness. In particular the respondents argue that a reviewing court must show deference to the decision being reviewed and must determine if the outcome falls within "a range of possible, acceptable outcomes which are defensible in respect of the facts and law" (see Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick 2008 SCC 9 (CanLII), [2008] S.C.J. No. 9 at para 47).
