Is a decision made unreasonable at a tribunal?
Prince Edward Island, Canada
The following excerpt is from Matheson v. College of Physicians and Surgeons of P.E.I., 2010 PECA 5 (CanLII):
A decision is unreasonable if the reasons cannot stand up to a probing examination and if there is no line of analysis in the reasons which can lead to the conclusion reached by the tribunal. This would be so if the tribunal made errors of law or principle in reaching its decision. See: Ryan v. Law Society (New Brunswick) supra at paras. 48 to 55.
