69: Provisions pending determination of appeal

You could also call this:

“Rules about following decisions while waiting for an appeal”

When someone appeals a decision or order made by the Rulings Panel, that decision or order stays in effect while the appeal is being decided. This means you need to follow the decision or order even if you’re appealing it. However, if you ask the High Court, they can change this rule. The High Court might decide that the decision or order shouldn’t be followed while the appeal is happening.
