The Supreme Court ruled that an appeal concerning the credibility of oral evidence in a serious tax fraud case could not be filtered out. The lower court had attempted to dismiss the appeal based on procedural grounds, but the material facts required a full hearing on the evidence's reliability. Consequently, the court decided the appeal must proceed to the Court of Appeal for a substantive review.
