board of referees  hearings  tape-recording 

Summary:

A portion of the content of the original cassette was missing and part of the proceedings before the Board of Referees was not recorded. Umpire believes it would contravene the principles of natural justice to hand down a decision without having complete evidence of what occurred before the Board. Under the circumstances, a new Board should be held so that, on an appeal, an Umpire has on hand complete evidence of the proceedings.
