Part 3: Award of public contracts and procedures Debarment Section 63: Debarment decisions: interim relief
This section provides a right for suppliers to apply to the court for suspension of a decision to add them to the debarment list while they are appealing that decision, or considering whether to appeal.
	Subsection (2) states that applications for suspension must be brought within the eight-day standstill period which begins when the supplier is notified that its name is to be added to the debarment list (see section 62(6)).
	Subsection (3) allows the court to make an order to suspend the debarment decision (and temporarily remove the supplier’s name from the list if it has already been added) until the supplier’s appeal has concluded or if it has failed to bring an appeal within the 30-day period permitted under section 65 (debarment decisions: appeals).
	Subsection (4) provides that in making a decision on an application for suspension, the court must balance the interests of the public (in preventing the award of contracts to unfit suppliers) and the interests of the supplier (including financial interests), but may also have regard to any other matters that the court considers appropriate.
	Subsection (5) defines various terms used in this section.
