Regulatory, enforcement, and coercive powers of local authorities - Removal orders - Objection to making of removal order

217: Right of objection

You could also call this:

“You can disagree with a court's decision to remove something”

If a court makes a removal order under section 216, you and other specific people have the right to object to this order. The list of people who can object is found in clause 3(a) of Schedule 14.

When you lodge a notice of objection, it puts a pause on the removal order. This means the order won’t be carried out until the court makes a decision about your objection.
