Summary:

As the wording of s.80 follows very closely that of ss.28(1) of the Federal Court Act, assistance can be obtained from the jurisprudence on the latter. It has been firmly established that the Court is not entitled to substitute its view of the facts of a case for that of the Tribunal. [p.4]
