(1) Contrary to constitutional rights or privileges; or

(3) Affected by other error of law; or

(4) Made or promulgated upon unlawful procedure; or

In making the foregoing determinations the court shall review the whole record or such portions thereof as may be cited by any party; and due account shall be taken of the rule of prejudicial error.
