Avoiding mistakes
A case manager could make a mistake by:
- making findings of fact that are not supported by the evidence
- making conclusions of law that are based on a misunderstanding / misinterpretation of the rules or based on irrelevant facts.
- dismissing certain relevant facts as unimportant without considering the rules carefully
- giving reasons which do not make clear and logical sense, in light of the relevant rules and the evidence.
