Article 67 Appeal to High Court

An appeal shall lie to the High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man from any decision of the Department under article 13 or 22 of this Order and if the court is satisfied that on the evidence submitted to the Department it was wrong in so deciding, the court may reverse the Department’s decision and the Department shall give effect to the court’s decision.

An appeal shall not lie from a decision of the Department that a person is not qualified to have a licence rendered valid by reason of a deficiency in his knowledge, experience, competence, skill, physical or mental fitness.

The Department shall be a respondent to any appeal under this article.

For the purposes of any provision relating to the time within which an appeal may be brought, the Department’s decision shall be deemed to have been taken on the date on which the Department furnished a statement of its reasons for the decision to the applicant for the licence, or as the case may be, the holder or former holder of the validated licence.
