By a majority the Court held the Tribunal's undefined reservation to apply criminal rules 'with flexibility' created unfair uncertainty and the Tribunal breached natural justice by rejecting unchallenged written evidence of Mr Nunns without affording testing; the Tribunal also misdirected itself on the evidential effect of good character. The Tribunal's verdict was therefore set aside and a full rehearing ordered before a differently constituted tribunal; costs ordered nisi for the appellant.
