Appeal-Judicial Review - Reasons - May Be Inferred from the Record

. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) v. Vavilov

In Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) v. Vavilov (SCC, 2022) the Supreme Court of Canada considers the adequacy of reasons for decision [paras 91-98], and notes that they may be inferred from the record:
... Where a decision maker’s rationale for an essential element of the decision is not addressed in the reasons and cannot be inferred from the record, the decision will generally fail to meet the requisite standard of justification, transparency and intelligibility.
