I have just faxed a copy of CRIMLA 12 (available here in the Points of Principle Manual) to a client appealing a CDS 7 determination. For those of you equally sick and tired of one-line justifications for reductions, especially regarding enhancement, which never engage with your special features submissions, this is one we perhaps should begin using a bit more often. The key phrase is:
“reasons must always be given sufficient to enable the solicitor to identify the relevant issues”
A mouse-mat to anyone has had a determination which meets this requirement.
