The book explores the challenges that superior courts, academic and practising lawyers, as well as litigants in Canada confront in the process of selecting the appropriate standard of review for examining the legality of administrative decisions. The author investigates the issue from historical, doctrinal and theoretical perspectives, and concludes that in the interest of efficiency, simplicity, predictability and judicial economy, a legislated approach to this judicial task is ideal. He recommends the revision of an existing provincial legislation, or alternatively, the adoption of a proposed model statute crafted by the author for potential use by interested legislatures.
