Key legal question
Whether the lack of reasons in the original IV decision violated the right to be heard and required remittal.
Extracted holding
The decision was formally defective because the reasoning was missing, but the defect was cured on appeal since the court had full review and the appellant could comment on the later-filed reasons.
Extracted reasoning
A complete absence of reasons breaches the duty to state reasons and the right to be heard. However, curing is possible where the appellate court has full cognition and remittal would be a pointless formal exercise.
