     § 753.  Scope of review.
        (a)  General rule.--A party who proceeded before a local
     agency under the terms of a particular statute, home rule
     charter, or local ordinance or resolution shall not be precluded
     from questioning the validity of the statute, home rule charter
     or local ordinance or resolution in the appeal, but if a full
     and complete record of the proceedings before the agency was
     made such party may not raise upon appeal any other question not
     raised before the agency (notwithstanding the fact that the
     agency may not be competent to resolve such question) unless
     allowed by the court upon due cause shown.
        (b)  Equitable relief.--The remedy at law provided by
     subsection (a) shall not in any manner impair the right to
     equitable relief heretofore existing, and such right to
     equitable relief is hereby continued, notwithstanding the
     provisions of subsection (a).
