The Presiding Officer committed errors of law by failing to consider sufficiently and to test binding admissions in the Defendant's filed statement, by failing adequately to investigate material issues (including the effect of those admissions and the timing and nature of alleged payments) and by making perverse findings as to the source of bank deposits without evidential basis; accordingly the appeal is allowed, the decision below is set aside to the extent specified and the matter is remitted to the Labour Tribunal for rehearing before a different presiding officer.
