39      Appeal by responsible executive

(1)    This section applies if:

(a)    a responsible officer finds that a person (the relevant person) contravened this instrument; and

(b)    the responsible executive considers that the penalty imposed under this instrument is inappropriate in the circumstances of the case.

(2)    The responsible executive may, after giving the relevant person the opportunity to be heard, appeal to the Appeals Committee against the penalty.

(3)    The appeal is made by giving a written notice of appeal to the Vice-Chancellor and the relevant person within 20 working days after the day the responsible executive is given written notice of the responsible officer's decision.

(4)    If the responsible executive appeals to the Appeals Committee, the responsible executive and the relevant person are parties to the appeal by the responsible executive.

(5)    If the responsible executive appeals to the Appeals Committee and the relevant person also appeals to the Appeals Committee in relation to the contravention, the appeals may be heard together.
