(a) The State Escheator shall possess full and complete authority to determine all claims filed under § 1165 of this title and shall immediately send written notice of such determination to the claimant.

(b) Within 30 days after notice of the Tax Appeal Board’s decision, the State Escheator or a claimant may appeal the decision to the Court of Chancery upon notice to all parties to the proceeding before the Tax Appeal Board and upon such other notice as the Court of Chancery may order.
(c) The Court of Chancery may make such rules as it deems proper for the perfection, hearing and determination of such appeals.
