What is the test for reviewing a decision of a chamber’s judge?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Maroofi v. College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, 2018 BCCA 71 (CanLII):

Review of the decision of a chamber’s judge is not a rehearing of the original application for an extension of time. It is a review of what the chambers judge did in making his decision. As the reviewing court we ask: was the chambers judge wrong in law, or wrong in principle? Did he misconceive the facts?: Haldorson v. Coquitlam (City), 2000 BCCA 672 at para. 7.
