Our approach to the evidence
Our approach to the evidence
Having considered the documentary evidence in the bundle, the oral evidence of the appellant and the submissions of the parties, we make the following findings of fact, applying the balance of probabilities standard. We do so as a preliminary step to considering whether DBS has made a ‘mistake of fact’ in any material respect in its decision. It does not necessarily follow that because our findings of fact differ to DBS’s findings in its decision that DBS has made a ‘mistake of fact’. We consider whether or not it has made a mistake in any material respect when dealing with the specific grounds of appeal and our conclusions.
