below, 43 where an agency summarily denied a fee waiver, 44 and where the court identified

remanded to correct a legal error, 46 to allow OOR to address a legal question in the first
374, 388 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2014) (remanding in part because “a genuine dispute exists as to

Sunrise Energy, LLC, 177 A.3d 438, 444-45 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2018) (remanding in part

opportunity to protect its interests in its own attorney-work-product”); Wishnefsky v. Pa.
Dep’t of Corr., 144 A.3d 290, 295 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2016) (remanding because “Wishnefsky

OOR”); Pa. Dep’t of Educ. v. Bagwell, 131 A.3d 638, 650 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2015) (remanding
