Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bouragba v. Conseil Scolaire de district de l’est de l’Ontario, 2021 ONSC 287 (CanLII):
The Standard of Review on appeal from a Master’s decision was summarized in the decision of Shibish v. Scher, 2015 ONSC 1844. The relevant and applicable principles to the case at bar are: a. Appellant interference will only be warranted if the Master made an error of law or exercised his/her discretion on the wrong principles or misapprehended the evidence such that there is a palpable and overriding error. b. The standard of review on a question of law is correctness. c. An appeal from a Master’s decision is not a re-hearing.
