Regulation 48 Appeal in relation to Welsh Ministers’ decisionI1
England and Wales
A person may appeal to the magistrates’ court against the decision of the Welsh Ministers in relation to an appeal of a decision of a kind referred to in regulation 47(1), provided that the appeal is made within 15 working days beginning with the day after the day on which the Welsh Ministers notify the person of their decision under regulation 47(5).
The magistrates’ court may allow an appeal under paragraph (1) only if it is satisfied that the decision appealed against was wrong on one or more of the following grounds—
that the decision was based on an error of fact;
that the decision was wrong in law;
that the decision was unreasonable;
that the decision was made without following the procedures set out in the 1984 Act or regulations made under that Act.
If the magistrates’ court allows an appeal it may quash or vary the decision.
