30F: Appeals against decisions of Secretary

You could also call this:

“You can challenge the Secretary's choices about weight and measure experts in court”

If you’re unhappy with a decision made by the Secretary about accredited persons under the Weights and Measures Act, you can appeal to the District Court. This applies to decisions made under sections 30D, 30DA, or 30E of the Act.

You have 28 days to make your appeal after you’re told about the decision. If you need more time, you can ask a District Court Judge, even if the 28 days have passed.

While your appeal is being decided, the Secretary’s decision will still be in effect, unless a District Court Judge says otherwise.
