(a) In its decision the Board shall affirm, modify, vacate or
reverse the decision or order appealed from, and may remand the case for
action or proceedings consistent with the decision of the Board. The
consent of the parties shall not be a prerequisite to a remand ordered
by the Board.
(b) In appropriate cases, such as where the issues raised on appeal
have been thoroughly discussed and disposed of in prior cases by the
Board or the courts, or where the findings of fact and conclusions of
law are both correct and adequately discussed, the Board in its
discretion may issue a brief, summary decision in writing, disposing of
the appeal.
(c) In cases which cannot be disposed of as in paragraph (b) of this
section, a full, written decision discussing the issues and applicable
law shall be issued.
