The principle of prohibition of "reformatio in peius" ensures
that a judicial body has no power to put a sole appellant in a
worse situation than if he had not appealed. The doctrine of
prohibition of reformatio in peius however, cannot be construed
to apply separately to each point or issue decided, or the
reasoning leading to the impugned decision.
