336: Appeal authority's decision final

You could also call this:

“The final say on the appeal belongs to the appeal authority, with one exception.”

When someone makes an appeal under this part of the law, the decision made by the appeal authority is final. This means you can’t challenge or change it. However, there is one exception to this rule. If the situation falls under section 340, then the decision might not be final. In all other cases, once the appeal authority has made its decision, that’s the end of the matter and you have to accept it.
