55: Appeal to Tribunal against determination by Registrar to cancel licence

You could also call this:

“You can challenge a decision to cancel your adviser licence”

If the Registrar decides to cancel your licence, you can appeal this decision. You have 20 working days after you get the notice to make your appeal to the Tribunal. To appeal, you need to write a notice to the Tribunal saying you want to appeal. You also need to include a copy of the cancellation notice you got and any other information you think is important for your appeal.

When the Tribunal looks at your appeal, they can do one of two things. They might reject your appeal, which means the cancellation stays. Or they might agree with you and tell the Registrar what to do about your licence.

If the Tribunal rejects your appeal, you have one more chance. You can appeal to the District Court against the Tribunal’s decision to reject your appeal.

Remember, all these steps have specific time limits and requirements, so it’s important to act quickly if you want to appeal.
