(2) On any appeal under this section, the Council shall be the respondent.
(3) No direction for striking off of the name of a registered person from a register section 23 or 25 (1) of this Act shall take effect until the expiration of the time for appealing or if an appeal is brought, until such time as the appeal is disposed of, withdrawn or struck out for want of prosecution, as the case may be.
(4) The Federal High Court may, on an appeal under this section -

(b) confirm the rejection of the Disciplinary Committee of the application for restoration or direct the restoration of the name to the register;
(c) remit the matter to the Disciplinary Committee for further consideration; or
