Regulation 9 Rights of appealI1

Any person who is aggrieved by a decision of an authorised officer to serve a notice under regulation 8(3) may appeal to a court of summary jurisdiction.

The procedure on an appeal to a court of summary jurisdiction under paragraph (1) is by way of notice under Part VII of the Magistrates’ Courts (Northern Ireland) Order 1981^f1.

The period within which an appeal under paragraph (1) may be brought is one month from and including the date on which the notice was served on the person desiring to appeal.

Where on an appeal under paragraph (1) a court of summary jurisdiction determines that the decision of the authorised officer is incorrect, the council must give effect to the determination of the court.

Where an appeal has been brought under paragraph (1) within the period specified in paragraph (3), the effect of a notice served under regulation 8(3) is suspended pending the final determination of the appeal.
