Leave to appeal was granted because the Adjudication Officer's recording of a settlement raises serious doubt as to validity where the statutory procedure for settlements prescribed by the MECAB Ordinance may not have been followed, and because procedural unfairness (refusal to permit an authorised non‑lawyer representative and possible coercion) could have affected the outcome, warranting appellate review and potential retrial.
