What is the standard of review of a decision confirming a driving prohibition?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Featherston v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2010 BCSC 798 (CanLII):

It is common ground that the standard of review of the adjudicator’s decision confirming the driving prohibition requires the court to determine whether the decision was reasonable. Counsel agree that this standard requires deference to the adjudicator’s decision, and asks, in part, whether the decision “falls within a range of possible, acceptable outcomes which are defensible in respect of the facts and law”: Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9, [2008] 1 S.C.R. 190, at para. 47.
