It does not follow that as there was a dissenting judgment in some areas that there were good or proper grounds of appeal.

I summarise, for there to be good and proper grounds of appeal the appellant needs to plead one of the following

1. Serious procedural defect,
2. The tribunal was wrong in law or erred in fact,
3. No reasonable tribunal could have reached the conclusion it did.

The Court made it clear that the appeal did not even disclose good or proper grounds.

Either the SRA appealed without proper advice (which would be a concern) proceeded contrary to the advice, relied on excessively bellicose advice (in which case I would be looking to the adviser's insurers to look at this).
