Let's say CAT sides against CMA. Surely CMA has to re-evaluate their reasoning for blocking and actually address any arguments Microsoft presented in their appeal. So they can't say like "yeah we already came to a final conclusion previously so fuck your fancy facts".

It's already baffling enough that the same authority will make the decision on appeal :P

Yes, they have to "fix" their mistake and then make another judgement on the case using the correction.

Depends what/if CAT deems to be a mistake, usually the bar is irrationality on data, or a bad procedure, as an example, CMA hid some market data from Facebook which CAT said they shouldn't have done, CMA corrected it but still ultimately blocked their attempted acquisition of Giphy.

I don't know of any cases where CAT has outright said to CMA that their market data/interpretation of the data is trash, Lol.
