Avoiding mistakes

 A client adviser could make a mistake by:

  • making findings of fact that are not supported by the evidence or based on irrelevant facts
  • dismissing certain relevant facts as unimportant without considering the rules carefully
  • making conclusions of law that are based on a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the rules
  • giving reasons which do not make clear and logical sense, in light of the relevant rules and the evidence.

This list is not exhaustive.
