Question juridique clé
Whether the grade 3.5 for exam act no. 2 was arbitrary
Solution extraite
No. The grading was defensible because the solution omitted serious points and could lawfully be assessed as insufficient.
Motifs extraits
Under the narrow arbitrariness standard, it is enough that the exam board's assessment is sustainable. A candidate for the notarial profession may be required to choose the legally correct solution that best protects clients' interests, and the court could accept that the omissions justified a failing grade.
