What is the standard of review for a finding of fact or mixed fact and law?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Canada v. Livingston, 2008 FCA 89 (CanLII):
In appellate review, the standard of review is governed by the nature of the question at issue. Questions of law are generally reviewed on a standard of correctness, while findings of fact or mixed fact and law will be set aside only if the trial judge has made an overriding and palpable error: see Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33 (CanLII), [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235. ANALYSIS Interpreting Subsection 160(1)
