(b) an appeal shall lie to the Supreme Court from the decision of the Appeal Tribunal on an appeal under the next preceding paragraph of this section;

(c) the Lay Commissioners may, if and whenever they so think proper, state a case for the decision of the Judicial Commissioner in respect of any question of law arising in any proceedings before them under the Land Purchase Acts.
