Where a decision was taken to refuse a payment on public interest grounds, Iain Nicol of the Law Society of Scotland notes the importance of the Redress Scotland panel noting which factors they took into account, suggesting that 'it must be clear from the record keeping what weight was put on the evidence, what factors were taken into account, and what the basis of the decision was, having regard to those requirements, so that advice can be given about whether the decision is reasonable or should be challenged.'
