A remand by the Commissioner (Appeals) treating a Tribunal judgment as 'additional evidence' under Rule 5 was held unsustainable because judicial decisions do not constitute documentary or evidentiary material within the meaning of Rule 5 and related statutory definitions; that part of the impugned orders was set aside.
