Case 104 - Appeals to a National Authority

Jerry Thompson

Case 104 states "A national authority may derive additional facts by logical deduction".  Logical deduction begins with one or more accepted facts or premises and uses them to derive a new conclusion. 

Do I understand correctly that a National Authority hearing an appeal can add facts to the facts found by the PC through logical deduction?
If the answer is yes, would the same apply to a Yacht Racing Association (YRA) Appeals Committee?

I thought that if an appeals committee required additional facts, the appeal would be sent back to the PC with instructions to find additional facts.
