You can apply to the High Court if you get a notice about your practice. You have 14 days to apply after getting the notice. You can ask the High Court to make the Standards Committee repay money or return records. You can also ask the High Court to make another order if you think it is fair. The High Court can make any order it thinks is right after hearing your application. You can find more information about this in section 179.
