What is the appropriate standard of review for patent unreasonableness?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Chief Pensions Advocate v. Canada (Attorney General), 2006 FC 1317 (CanLII):
For his part, the Respondent argues that the appropriate standard of review according to a pragmatic and functional analysis is patent unreasonableness. He submits that, in some cases, deference is due to a tribunal’s interpretation of questions of law and relies in this regard on the decision in Pezim v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Brokers), 1994 CanLII 103 (SCC), [1994] 2 S.C.R. 557.
