CHAPTER 4INTERIM ORDERS AND REVIEW OF INTERIM ORDERS

145Appeals against interim orders

1

Where a panel has made an interim order under section 144 in respect of a registered person, that person may appeal against the order to the tribunal.

2

An appeal must be made before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which notice of the decision is given under section 144(7).

3

But the tribunal may allow an appeal to be made to it after the end of the period mentioned in subsection (2) if it is satisfied that there is a good reason for the failure to appeal before the end of that period (and for any delay in applying for permission to appeal out of time).

4

On an appeal, the tribunal may—

a

revoke the interim order,

b

in the case of an interim conditional registration order, revoke or vary any condition,

c

replace an interim suspension order with an interim conditional registration order,

d

replace an interim conditional registration order with an interim suspension order,

e

vary the period for which the interim order is to have effect,

f

remit the case to SCW for it to dispose of in accordance with the directions of the tribunal, or

g

make no change to the interim order.
