Internal Administrative Appeals | Justice Frans F. Slatter, Court of Appeal of Alberta

• Examine the standard of review that should be applied by an administrative appeal tribunal when it is hearing an appeal from a tribunal of first instance. To what extent should the appeal tribunal extend deference? Does Vavilov apply?
