    The Presiding Officer did not adequately investigate material inconsistencies surrounding Exhibit D1 (differences in signature, incorrect date, and inadequate questioning of the Police Officer) such that an ordinary reasonable person would conclude injustice may have resulted; accordingly the appeal is allowed and the matter is remitted to the Labour Tribunal for a retrial before another Presiding Officer.
