that the decision was not authorised by the enactment under which it was purported to be made;

that the making of the decision was an improper exercise of the power conferred by the enactment under which it was purported to be made;

that the decision involved an error of law (whether or not the error appears on the record of the decision);

that the decision was induced or affected by fraud;

that there was no evidence or other material to justify the making of the decision;

that the decision was otherwise contrary to law.

This section applies only to a decision made after the commencement of this Act.
