(b) A court may remand a petition for judicial review to the State Records Committee if:   (i) the remand is to allow the State Records Committee to decide an issue that:   (A) involves access to a record; and     (B) the State Records Committee has not previously addressed in the proceeding that led to the petition for judicial review; and       (ii) the court determines that remanding to the State Records Committee is in the best interests of justice.         (7)   (a) Except as provided in Section 63G-2-406, the court may, upon consideration and weighing of the various interests and public policies pertinent to the classification and disclosure or nondisclosure, order the disclosure of information properly classified as private, controlled, or protected if the interest favoring access is greater than or equal to the interest favoring restriction of access.     (b) The court shall consider and, where appropriate, limit the requester's use and further disclosure of the record in order to protect privacy interests in the case of private or controlled records, business confidentiality interests in the case of records protected under Subsections 63G-2-305(1) and (2), and privacy interests or the public interest in the case of other protected records.
