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.
