Reconsideration and Appeal of Commission Decisions
The licensee may appeal the Commission’s decisions taken in regard to the licence. The process is a two stage one where the licensee firstly requests the Commission to reconsider the decision and if not satisfied with the Commission’s reconsideration the licensee may file an appeal to the High Court. Either party has the right of appeal to the Court of Appeal if dissatisfied with the outcome at the level of the High Court.
