Appeals from decisions of the Board.
|
28.—(1) Where by the decision of the Board in any proceedings for removal from the roll of midwives, the name of the defendant is removed from the roll of midwives or the defendant is suspended from practice, the defendant may appeal from the decision of the Board either to the High Court or the Minister (but not to both) within three months after the notification to her of such decision.
|
|
| |
(2) The decision of the High Court or the Minister (as the case may be) on an appeal under this section shall be final.
|
|
| |
(3) Where an appeal under this section is successful—
|
|
| |
(a) in the case of an appeal to the High Court, the court may award costs against the Board, and
|
|
| |
(b) the Board shall give notice of the result of the appeal to every local supervising authority concerned and (where the appeal was to the High Court) to the Minister, and
|
|
| |
(c) where the decision appealed against was a decision removing a name from the roll of midwives, the name shall be restored to the roll of midwives, and
|
|
| |
(d) where the decision appealed against was a decision either removing a name from the roll of midwives or suspending a midwife from practice, the Board may, if they so think fit, pay to the appellant such sum as they consider reasonable compensation for any loss of practice sustained by her between the decision of the Board and the determination of the appeal or, where the appellant was suspended from practice by the Board on the institution of the proceedings before the Board, between the institution of the proceedings and the determination of the appeal.
