22.1. Where the date for the hearing of an appeal contemplated in section 21 has not been fixed and the president or one of the vice-presidents, on examining the appeal declaration and the decision appealed from, perceives that the authority concerned has failed to decide a question which that authority is required by law to decide, he may exofficio issue an order to return the matter to that authority for decision.
The new decision may be appealed to the Commission in the same manner and time as the original decision.
