(5)The Panel may—

(a)confirm a decision appealed to it,

(b)quash such a decision and direct OSCR to take such other action, if any, as the Panel thinks fit by such time as may be specified in the direction, or

(c)remit such a decision back to OSCR, together with the Panel’s reasons for doing so, for reconsideration.
