(a)

vary, suspend, revoke or refuse to grant a licence of a crop inspector, seed sampler, seed testing station or a person requiring a licence under regulation 20;

(b)

refuse to certify seed; or

(c)

withdraw certification of seed,

may, within 30 days of being notified of that decision, appeal against it to the Tribunal.

(2)

There shall be no right of appeal to the Tribunal where the Department has—

(a)

refused to grant or vary a licence; or

(b)

varied, suspended or revoked a licence,

for the sole reason that the applicant or licence holder has failed to pass an examination which was required to be undertaken and passed as a condition of the licence.

(3)

The Department may extend the time for bringing an appeal, but no appeal shall in any event be brought more than one year after a person is notified of that decision.
