Grounds for Appeal - The appeals often challenge the Tribunal's decision to uphold, modify, or remand assessments.

Role of the Tribunal and Courts - The Tribunal's orders can be subject to scrutiny for correctness in law.

The appellate process involves examining whether the Tribunal correctly applied legal principles and whether the assessment was justified Pr.
