I don't know about other jurisdictions. In Norway we generally never accept
that a Director avoids making a ruling but passes the case directly to an
appeal committee. (That the director can suggest an appeal, or in very
special cases even appeal his own ruling is a different matter.)

That an AC has more time than the Director to reach a ruling is obvious.
