 What is the scope of appeal/judicial review procedures in specific procedures that may serve as reference in the country? Do appeal bodies/courts review points of fact and law? Can they grant protection, residence permit, nationality, etc. themselves, or can they only quash lower-instance decisions and send the matter back for reconsideration? Is there a difference between different instances in any of these respects?  If the appeal bodies/courts in question are not allowed to grant protection, residence permit, nationality, etc. themselves and can only quash lower-instance decisions, does this seem to cause excessive delays in relevant proceedings in the country (where cases are re- and reconsidered by different instances and final decisions often take several years to reach)? Is this a likely risk for statelessness determination cases?  If yes, it should be considered that in statelessness determination such undue delays may have a particularly negative impact on the persons concerned (legal limbo, destitution, lengthy detention, etc.) and the possibility to allow appeal bodies/courts to grant stateless status themselves is preferred. 34
