333: Notice of right of appeal
or “You must be told about your right to disagree with a decision and how long you have to do it.”
You could also call this:

“Things keep happening the same way while people wait for the appeal boss to decide if they should change”

If you decide to appeal a decision or action under this part of the law, that decision or action will stay in effect unless the appeal authority says otherwise. This means that even though you’re appealing, things will continue as if the decision or action is still valid. However, the appeal authority has the power to change this if they think it’s necessary. So, while your appeal is being looked at, everything stays the same unless the appeal authority decides to put things on hold.
