Section 27: Appeal to the Federal High Court

(1) Where the Disciplinary Committee-
(a) makes a finding and imposes a penalty on a registered person under section 24 of this Act;
(b) rejects an application for restoration of a name to the register under section 25 of this Act; or
(c) directs the striking off of an entry from a register under section 26 (1) of this Act,
the Registrar shall give the person to whom the proceedings relate notice in writing thereof and such person may, within twenty-eight days from the date of service on him of the notice, appeal to the Federal High Court.
(2) On any appeal under this section, the Board shall be the respondent.
(3)
No direction for the striking off of the name of a registered person from a register under sections 24 and 26 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the expiration of the time for appealing or if an appeal is brought, until such time as the appeal is disposed of, withdrawn or struck out for want of prosecution, as the case may be.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-
(a) confirm, vary or set aside any finding of fact, penalty imposed or direction given by the Disciplinary Committee; or
(b) confirm the rejection by the Disciplinary Committee of the application for restoration or direct the restoration of the same to the register; or
(c) make such other order as to costs or otherwise, as may, to it, seem just.
