155ZK: Appeals against determinations

You could also call this:

"Challenging a decision: how to appeal to the court"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

If you are not a member of the scheme and you are involved in a dispute, you can appeal to the District Court against a determination within the time allowed under section 155ZL(1). The court will then look at the decision that was made and can choose to confirm it, modify it, or reverse it. The court's decision on the appeal is final and applies to all parties involved in the determination, and you cannot appeal against the court's decision.
