147Y: Orders to be in writing

You could also call this:

“Orders must be written down and explain important details”

When the Board makes an order under section 147M, they need to write it down. The order must explain why it was made and tell you that you can appeal it. It also needs to say when you have to appeal by. The person in charge of the Board has to sign the order.

The Registrar will give you a copy of the order. The order starts working either when it says it does in section 147P, or from the day you get it (or later if the order says so).

The Registrar also has to give a copy of the order to the person who looked into the complaint and the person who made the complaint, if there was one.

If the Board says to, the Registrar will also give a copy of the order to the person who owns and the person who lives in the place the complaint was about.
