Part 1: Public Protection Requirements Investigations and enforcement: sections 12 to 16 Section 16: Appeals against notices
This section sets out the rights of appeal for a person who is given a compliance or restriction notice (or variation of the same).
	An appeal may be made to the tribunal before the end of the period of 28 days from the day on which the notice is given or varied (as the case may be).
	On appeal, the tribunal may cancel or vary the compliance or restriction notice (or variation). If it is not satisfied in the appeal, the tribunal must confirm the notice or variation.
	An appeal may be brought on the grounds that the decision to give or vary the notice (or include a provision within the notice) was:
based on an error of fact (whether wholly or partly),
wrong in law, or
unfair or unreasonable for another reason.
	The tribunal may not only review factual evidence on which the decision to give the notice was based but also consider evidence that was not available to the Security Industry Authority at the time.
	When an appeal is brought in relation to a compliance notice, the notice (or variation) will not have effect until the appeal is withdrawn or concluded, unless the tribunal orders otherwise.
	Whilst a restriction notice (or variation) will continue to have effect pending the outcome of an appeal in relation to it, the tribunal may order that it does not.
