Health Act 1956

Management of infectious diseases - Appeals and enforcement

92ZU: Appeals to Court of Appeal

You could also call this:

"Asking the Court of Appeal to review a decision about infectious diseases"

If you are involved in an appeal about infectious diseases, you can ask the Court of Appeal to look at the decision made by the High Court. You need to get permission from the Court of Appeal to do this, and you can only appeal if the decision was about a question of law. The Court of Appeal has the same power as the High Court to make decisions on the appeal. When the Court of Appeal makes a decision, it is final and cannot be changed.

You can appeal to the Court of Appeal if you were part of an appeal under section 92ZT. The Court of Appeal will try to hear your appeal as soon as possible. The Court of Appeal's decision on your appeal, and on whether to let you appeal, is final and cannot be changed.
