(a)do not accept the grounds for the referral; or
(b)accept the grounds in part, but the children’s hearing do not consider it appropriate to proceed with the case under subsection (6) above,
the hearing shall either direct the Principal Reporter to make an application to the sheriff for a finding as to whether such grounds for the referral as are not accepted by the child and the relevant person are established or shall discharge the referral.
