| umpires | grounds of appeal | not a trial de novo |
Summary:
Principle well established: an Umpire appeal is not a hearing de novo with the result that an Umpire should be extremely loath to overturn a Board's decision based on its findings of fact, even though the Umpire might have been persuaded to come to the opposite conclusion.
