The Deputy Adjudicator materially misrecited the 2nd defendant's evidence in a manner that affected the decisive finding that the defendants were the defaulting parties; that misreading constituted an error of law vitiating the Tribunal's principal finding and, because the finding was the single most important issue of mixed fact and law, the proper remedy was to remit for a trial de novo before a different Adjudicator rather than substitute a factual finding.
