(b)
that the finding involves a wrong decision of a question of law; or
(c)
that there was a material irregularity in the course of the trial,
and in any other case shall dismiss the appeal:
Provided that the Court may, notwithstanding that they are of the opinion that the point raised in the appeal might be decided in favour of the appellant, dismiss the appeal if they consider that no miscarriage of justice has actually occurred.
