In 1346134 Ontario Limited v. Wright (Ont CA, 2023) the Court of Appeal considered the appellate standard of review (SOR) for findings of agency:
[48] The appellants argue that the trial judge erred in finding that OAL was 134’s agent. The existence of an agency relationship is a question of fact: 1195303 Ontario Inc. v. Glen Grove Suites Inc., 2015 ONCA 580, 337 O.A.C. 85, at para. 82. It is therefore entitled to deference, absent palpable and overriding error: Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235, at para. 10.
