Article 59 Suspension in other cases

United Kingdom

(1)

Where it appears to the Secretary of State that—

(a)

an appeal has been brought or a question arises whether an appeal ought to be brought against a decision of a court in relation to a case (“the primary case”); and

(b)

if such an appeal were to be allowed a question would arise in relation to another case (“the secondary case”) whether the award of benefit in that case ought to be reviewed,

he may direct that payment of the benefit under the award in the secondary case be suspended, in whole or in part—

(i)

until the time limit for making an application for leave to appeal in the primary case has expired, or;

(ii)

if such an application is made, until such time as that application and any subsequent appeal has been determined, whichever is the later.

(2)

In this article the expressions “appeal” and “application for leave to appeal” have the same meanings as they have in article 56.
