summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees statement of facts definition
Summary:

The decision simply summarizes some of the evidence reviewed by the Board. That summary does not amount to findings of fact. A finding involves a decision after weighing the evidence. It is impossible to know what opinion the Board formed of the conflicting evidence. This is a serious error of law.

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees statement of facts definition
Summary:

The Board must state which facts led it to decide as it did. The Board, in writing a decision, should approach the task with a view to explaining to someone who was not at the hearing why it rejected some evidence but relied on other. As I cannot be certain on what facts it relied, decision quashed.
