What is the standard of review of a decision by an administrative decision maker?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Sood v. The Society of Notaries Public of British Columbia, 2017 BCSC 409 (CanLII):
Where a court is engaged in reviewing a decision of an administrative decision maker, the standard of review is, “determined on the basis of administrative law principles … regardless of whether the review is conducted in the context of an application for judicial review or of a statutory appeal” (Mouvement laïque québécois v. Saguenay (City), 2015 SCC 16, at para. 38). Therefore, unless there is legislation specifying the standard of review, the choice is between the standards of review of correctness or reasonableness.
