Building Societies Act 1965

Miscellaneous provisions

122C: Appeals from decisions under section 122B

You could also call this:

"You can ask a court to review if you're denied information"

If someone asks for information under section 122B and is refused, they can appeal to the court. You have 21 days after being told 'no' to make this appeal, but the court might give you more time if needed.

When the court hears your appeal, they can do one of two things. They can agree with the refusal and say 'no' as well. Or, they can give instructions or make a decision about what should happen. The court will decide what they think is right for the situation.
