ββChallenging awards
It's important to know that, under section 16.18(2), you can only ask to change or cancel an award because of doubts about the arbitrator's independence or impartiality if there is a "real danger of bias" on the part of the arbitrator. This can be difficult to prove. In ''[https://canlii.ca/t/1prwz Spence v. The Board of Police Commissioners of Prince Albert]'', a 1987 decision of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal, the court explained what you have to prove to show a real danger of bias, saying that:
<blockquote>βThe test is whether a reasonable person would believe there is a real danger of bias or whether there would be a reasonable suspicion of bias even though unintended."</blockquote>
