Tribunal remand for fresh land valuation did not raise a referable question of law, as further inquiry was within its power.

The High Court held that no referable question of law arose from a Tribunal order remanding the land valuation issue for further inquiry after stating the applicable principles. The Tribunal was competent to direct fresh investigation into valuation, and the department's concern that a lower valuation might eventually result was treated as speculative and not a legal basis for reference. On that footing, the application for reference failed because the order did not disclose a statutory question of law for consideration.

Issues: Whether any referable question of law arose from the Tribunal's order directing further investigation into the valuation of the disputed land.

Analysis: The Tribunal had remanded the valuation issue for fresh investigation after stating the principles to be applied. The Court held that the Tribunal had power to direct further inquiry and that the department's apprehension that a lower valuation might eventually result was merely hypothetical. In these circumstances, no question of law arose for reference under the statute.

Conclusion: No referable question of law arose from the Tribunal's order; the application for reference failed.
