In Leung v. Leung (1993), 77 B.C.L.R. (2d) 314 (S.C.) at p.315, Esson, C.J.S.C. (as he then was) had made the following observations in relation to the meaning of “reprehensible” conduct: … “reprehensible” is a word of wide meaning. It can include conduct which is scandalous, outrageous or constitutes misbehaviour; but it also includes milder forms of misconduct. It means simply “deserving of reproof or rebuke”.
