Part 4: Medical Devices Chapter 3: Enforcement Section 25: Applications to set notices aside etc
This section provides that any person who has an interest in a medical device that is the subject of a compliance, suspension or safety notice is able to apply to an appropriate court to set the notice aside or vary it.
	An "appropriate lower court" is defined as a magistrate’s court in England and Wales, the sheriff in Scotland, and a court of summary jurisdiction in Northern Ireland (see section 42 (2)).
	Subsection (2) provides that the same application may also be made by person who has received an information notice.
	Subsection (3) states that such applications must be made within 28 days, starting from the day the notice was served, or varied.
	Subsection (4) provides a list of circumstances where the appropriate court can set aside a compliance, suspension, safety or information notice. This list is self-explanatory.
	Subsection (5) explains that the court can vary a compliance notice so as not to apply in relation to a medical devices provision (as defined under section 17(2)). It may do this if it is satisfied that the person on whom the notice has been served has complied with that medical devices provision.
	Subsection (6) states that the court can vary a suspension notice if it is satisfied that the time period of suspension is too long.
	Similarly, subsection (7) explains the court can vary a safety notice if it is satisfied that the prohibition or requirement it contains is not necessary for the protection of health or safety.
	Subsection (8) explains that the court can vary an information notice if the person who received the notice does not have that information or those records requested.
	Subsection (9) states that an order of the appropriate court that varies or sets aside a compliance, suspension, safety or information notice can be delayed pending the outcome of any appeal under section 27 (see below for appeal process).
