There is no rule or regulation or case law about how many nights a "partner" can stay over. LT cases are not decided on that aspect.
The fact CPS did not proceed with the case means there is no court case and "reasonable doubt" is not an issue regarding it having any impact on the appeal case. It is a fact that can be placed before the tribunal though.
Again, the conduct of the investigators in their interview, is not something the tribunal can make any determination on, apart from making decisions on how to weigh that evidence. So if you can reduce the weight of that evidence with your submission about how they "led" your client, that is the way to go.
LT decisions are based on the overall picture of financial, domestic, social arrangements, and most importantly whether the alleged partner has another address which can be verified, etc.
