67: Determination of appeal

You could also call this:

"The court makes a final decision on your appeal."

Illustration for Motor Vehicle Sales Act 2003

When you appeal a decision made by the Registrar, the District Court will make a decision. The District Court can agree with the Registrar's decision or change it. The District Court's decision is final. You can still ask for a judicial review, which is a review of the decision by a higher court. This is a separate process and does not affect the District Court's decision. The District Court's decision is the final step in the appeal process. The law allows you to apply for a judicial review, and this section does not change that right. You can apply for a judicial review according to the law. This is an important part of the process to ensure fairness.
