From the tribunal's reasons, extract passages that interpret a statute or decide a fairness point, and label each as a candidate question in the tribunal's words. Do not write a notice of appeal. Do not add facts that are not in the reasons. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |

Checklist
- Do not list a disagreement about the facts as a question of law. The guide's examples are procedural fairness and statutory interpretation.
- Note that an error of law is not enough if it did not contribute to the decision, and that a clearly correct decision may still lead to dismissal.
- Do not add evidence that was not before the tribunal. The guide says new evidence is exceptional.
- The tool does not draft the notice of appeal or a notice of cross-appeal.
