(e)     The Board in considering claims for compensation and in determining what
compensation, if any, to allow a claimant, shall take into account the good faith of the

budget, for payment to the claimant or his representative.

the circuit court of the county where the injury occurred or the claimant resides. The
court may uphold the determination of the Board, remand for further consideration or
findings of fact, or reverse or modify any determination which it finds to be arbitrary or
unreasonable, and render decision accordingly. The Board may be a party to such appeal,
and either party shall have a further right of appeal to the Court of Special Appeals.
