Abstract
This essay, written from the perspective of a current adjudicator and former litigator, proposes a two-step process for simplifying the standard of review framework for judicial review in Canada. First, the courts would establish a default framework that evaluates the reasonableness of tribunal decisions. Second, the legislatures would pass clear statutory language on when the default standard of review of reasonableness will not apply.
