154: Appeals to High Court

You could also call this:

"You can ask the High Court to review a decision made by the District Court."

If the District Court makes a decision about a compliance order under section 147, you can appeal to the High Court. You can appeal if you are a party to the proceedings or if the decision affects you badly. The High Court will follow the High Court Rules 2016 and some parts of the District Court Act 2016 when hearing your appeal.
