Conclusions
Disposal
For the reasons I have explained, I find that the Tribunal’s decision involved a material error of law and should be set aside. I have decided that it is not appropriate for me to remake the decision. Further facts need to be found and the First-tier Tribunal, with its expert members, is best equipped to determine the appeal. I therefore remit the matter to the First-tier Tribunal in accordance with the Directions above.
