A decision was made in my UT appeal without the oral hearing I'd requested. Is this an error of law?

I requested for oral hearing in my Upper Tribunal appeal to allow my legal representatives to argue my case but the Judge has made the final decision without an oral hearing. Can I use that as error of law if the decision is not in my favour?

HI and welcome,That's not an error in law. The options they have are, they can give the decision the First-tier Tribunal should have given, they can also make fresh or further findings of fact and give a new decision.
If there is not enough information, it can refer the case to a new First-tier Tribunal.
If you have a rep then you should be talking to them regarding this.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Thank you all for your response. I wonder if the UT Judge decision not to bother with the oral hearing, even when requested, is an indication that he wants to allow the appeal. Am I been too optimistic?

Does anyone know how long does it take for UT to issue out the decision to the parties after the Judge had made it.
