119: Appeals against accreditation decisions

You could also call this:

"You can ask a judge to check if decisions about letting you handle data are fair"

You can appeal to the High Court if the chief executive makes certain decisions about accreditation under subpart 4. This means you can challenge their decision if they:

Don't give you accreditation when you ask for it. Don't renew your accreditation when it's time to do so. Put special rules or conditions on your accreditation. Say no when you ask to change your accreditation. Stop your accreditation for a while or cancel it completely.
