Correspondence and papers re meetings of the Tribunal User Group (TUG), 1996-2007.

• photocopies from literature on the law of social security and industrial injuries benefits

Reported decision No R(I) 6/85 of 14 December 1984 pointed out that SPAID had obtained a large amount of evidence, almost wholly statistical, to further the appeal in question. "Unhappily", the decision went on, the evidence submitted did "not bear on the issue in the appeal and it would have been advisable, and have saved time, if [Mrs Tait] had clarified the issue and perhaps obtained advice on the legal aspects of the case rather than obtain a mass of evidence which is relatively useless in the context of this appeal". This was not intended as a criticism of Tait's conscientious effort for the evidence she obtained. The Commissioner in question was J S Watson.
