The appeal was allowed because the Presiding Officer erred in law by failing to make proper enquiry and order production of documents in the defendant's possession that were directly relevant to whether the claimant had 'approached' the ultimate accounts (orders placed via intermediaries) and by adopting a narrower factual criterion (direct customer only) without adequate inquiry or reasons; that failure rendered the Tribunal's determination on the claimed commissions unsafe and required remittal for retrial by a different presiding officer.
