Does the term “patently unreasonable” apply to the procedures of a committee or the council?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wood v. Wetaskiwin (County No. 10)County Council, 2001 ABQB 681 (CanLII):
The Respondent refers to these cases as examples of the broad interpretation given to the term “patently unreasonable.” I note, however, that in both of the Alberta cases it was the county’s decision which was said to be patently unreasonable, not the procedure followed. MacCallum J. remarked in Morrison v. Parkland No. 31 (County), supra at p. 349 that it could not be said that the meetings of the committee or the council were unfairly conducted.
