Appellate tribunal grounds of appeal allow wider consideration, but affected parties must get a fair hearing. An appellant may not, except with leave, urge grounds not set forth in the appeal form, but the Appellate Tribunal is not confined to those grounds when deciding the appeal. The Tribunal may rely on other grounds only if the affected party has had a sufficient opportunity of being heard on that ground, preserving procedural fairness while allowing wider appellate consideration.
