Heading: Whether The Case Should Have Been Remanded

Text: Finally, Thompson urges that even if the Superior Court correctly ruled that Dover Downs was lawfully entitled to inquire into the dog's training, the Superior Court erred by not remanding the case to the DHRC to re-decide the dispute in accordance with the correct rule of law. In this case a remand is unnecessary because there would be nothing for the DHRC to do. [19] Based on the record made before the DHRC, only one fact is material: whether Dover Downs' stated reason for denying Thompson access, accompanied by his dog, was pretextual. Two courts have now determined that there is no evidentiary basis in the record to conclude that it was. Therefore, nothing else remains to be done, and a remand would be a needless exercise.
