104: Enforcement of access direction
or “How the Tribunal can enforce an agency's compliance with an access direction”
You could also call this:

“You can ask the Tribunal to review a decision about showing information”

If someone tells you to show them information, and you don’t want to, you can ask a special group called the Tribunal to look at the decision. This is called an appeal. You can do this if you’re the one who was told to show the information.

When you appeal, the people involved will be the same ones who were part of the original investigation about showing the information.
