Section 2725.280  Decision Of Director

a)         After review of the objections to the recommend decision, the Director shall make his decision and serve notice thereof on the party or parties thereto.

b)         The Director may, after review of the objections to the recommended decision, order that a matter be remanded to the Director's Representative for rehearing or to take additional testimony whenever the Director believes that there is a basis for relief as provided in this Part or that the record is incomplete.

c)         The Director shall issue a decision at any stage of the proceedings where it appears from the pleadings, the Agency file and other matters of record that a decision awarding all the relief sought by the petitioner should be issued and a hearing on the merits would be unnecessary; provided, however, that such a decision shall not be issued if there are other parties who would be denied due process by the lack of notice and the opportunity to be heard.
