Well I’ve never seen this before!
At appeals yesterday with two cases back to back. Went back into room for the decision for appellant ‘A’. Noting that the appeal was disallowed, I simply placed the decision notice in the file and left to meet my second client, appellant ‘B’.
As it was getting late, the tribunal judge said he’d pop ‘B’s’ decision in the post. I looked at appelant ‘A’s’ decision notice this morning; I was surprised to see that the notice for ‘A’ contained ‘B’s’ Name, appeal reference and NINO. The script, albeit brief, only made reference to ‘B’ with no mention at all of ‘A’.
Remembering that ‘B’ has not had their decision yet, why has ‘A’ been given ‘B’s’ decision before ‘B’s’ case had actually been heard?
Conspiracy theorists welcome.
Clerk had individualized templates ready at the start of the session and simply got them mixed up. I’m more of a cock up theory of history person.

I thought that too; but I sometimes let my suspicions of ‘what could have been’ get the better of me.
Thank you.

The fact that you are becoming paranoid doesn’t mean that they are not out to get you!

Isn’t paranoia when you think people are out to get you? Well that can’t be the case with me; I know they are!
Thank you.

Hello,
TAS appear to have realised their mistake as the post has just delivered ‘A’s’ decision: proper name, appeal reference and NINO.
But in a seperate envelope, ‘B’s’ decision came too - appeal allowed by Regulation 29.
All okay now; sleep tight everyone, goodnight.
Thank you
Patrick
