Held: The appeal was allowed. The Tribunal had made findings which were unnecessary to its judgment, and which were capable of being damaging to the public interest. Even though the Regulator had won, it should be allowed to appeal against the relevant element of the judgment. It was not the task of tribunals to provide general guidance, and their judgments should avoid this.
