Section 754 - Disposition of appeal

     § 754.  Disposition of appeal.
        (a)  Incomplete record.--In the event a full and complete
     record of the proceedings before the local agency was not made,
     the court may hear the appeal de novo, or may remand the
     proceedings to the agency for the purpose of making a full and
     complete record or for further disposition in accordance with
     the order of the court.
        (b)  Complete record.--In the event a full and complete
     record of the proceedings before the local agency was made, the
     court shall hear the appeal without a jury on the record
     certified by the agency. After hearing the court shall affirm
     the adjudication unless it shall find that the adjudication is
     in violation of the constitutional rights of the appellant, or
     is not in accordance with law, or that the provisions of
     Subchapter B of Chapter 5 (relating to practice and procedure of
     local agencies) have been violated in the proceedings before the
     agency, or that any finding of fact made by the agency and
     necessary to support its adjudication is not supported by
     substantial evidence. If the adjudication is not affirmed, the
     court may enter any order authorized by 42 Pa.C.S. § 706
     (relating to disposition of appeals).
