What is the standard for judicial review of an administrative decision?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Oceanview Golf Resort & Spa Ltd. v. British Columbia (Private Managed Forest Land Council), 2015 BCSC 2371 (CanLII):
The two standards for judicial review of administrative decision are reasonableness and correctness: Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9 at para. 34 [Dunsmuir]. In applying the former, the court gives the administrative body a measure of deference; in applying the latter, the court evaluates the decision without deference for the administrative body, and, if necessary, substitutes its own judgment in place of the original decision.
