    Can a party appeal if the other party concealed critical documents?

    Yes, the law allows for an appeal if a party to a contract concealed evidence or documents from the First Instance Division that would have significantly changed the outcome of the judgment. This provision addresses acts of bad faith during litigation and ensures that the tribunal's decision is based on a complete and honest disclosure of the facts. By permitting an appeal in such cases, the RDSC discourages deceptive practices and ensures that the final ruling reflects the actual contractual reality between the parties.
