REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario, on October 11, 2011)

STRATAS J.A.

[1]               This is an appeal from a decision of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal dated July 28, 2010 (no. AP-2009-005).

 

[2]               The parties are agreed, and we agree, that the standard of review of the Tribunal’s decision is reasonableness.

 

[3]               Notwithstanding the able and passionate arguments of Mr. Kaylor, we do not find the decision unreasonable.

 

[4]               Based on the facts it found (particularly in paragraphs 14-18 and 49 of its decision) and on the law, the Tribunal reached an outcome that was within the range of defensibility and acceptability.

 

[5]               Therefore, we shall dismiss the appeal with costs.
