You could also call this:

"You can still appeal or review a decision made by a computer"

Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

If a computer system makes a decision, you have the same rights as if a person made it. You can appeal or ask for a review of the decision in the same way. This means you can challenge the decision if you think it is wrong, just like you could if a person made the decision, and you can find more information about this by looking at the relevant law.

  1. To avoid doubt, a person has the same rights of appeal or right to apply for administrative or judicial review (if any) in relation to a decision made, power exercised, obligation complied with, or other action taken by an automated electronic system as the person would have had if the decision, power, obligation, or other action had been made, exercised, complied with, or taken by a specified person.
