455: Further action of Director after appeal determined

You could also call this:

"What happens next if you win an appeal about an aviation decision?"

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

If you appeal a decision under section 453 and you win, the Director can still take action. The Director can refuse or cancel an aviation document, or take action against a person, if they find new facts or evidence. This can happen to the aviation document or person that the appeal was about, or to a document or approval that was given because of the appeal decision.

The Director can take these actions if they have good reasons to do so. You can appeal against the Director's decision, just like you appealed against the original decision.

The Director's actions are subject to the same appeal rights as the original decision that was appealed against.
