Regulation 8 Appeal to the sheriff
A claimant dissatisfied with the decision of the relevant authority on a review under regulation 7 may, by summary application, appeal to the sheriff.
An appeal must be brought within 21 days of the day on which the claimant received written notice of the authority’s decision on review.
The sheriff may give permission for an appeal to be brought after the end of that period, but only if the sheriff is satisfied—
if permission is sought before the end of that period, that there is a good reason for the claimant being unable to bring the appeal in time; or
if permission is sought after that time, that there was a good reason for the claimant’s failure to bring the appeal in time and for any delay in applying for permission.
On an appeal under this regulation, the sheriff may make such order confirming, quashing or varying the decision as the sheriff thinks fit.
