PART VI GENERAL 36 Appeals (1) Subject to this section, any person who is aggrieved by any decision, direction, order or action of the Council under this Act may appeal against it to the Administrative Court. (2) Notice of an appeal under subsection (1)⎯ (a) shall be in writing, specifying in detail the grounds of the appeal; and (b) shall be lodged with the registrar of the Administrative Court and the Registrar within thirty days from the date on which the appellant was given notice of the decision, direction, order or action appealed against. (3) The Registrar shall furnish the Council with copies of any notice of appeal lodged with him in terms of subsection (1). (4) On an appeal under this section, the Administrative Court may confirm, vary or set aside the decision, direction, order or action appealed against or give such other decision as, in its opinion, the Council ought to have given, and may make such order as to costs as it thinks fit: Provided that⎯ (i) a decision, direction, order or action of the Council following an inquiry in terms of section thirty-one shall not be set aside solely because of an irregularity which did not embarrass or prejudice the appellant in answering a charge or in the conduct of his defence; (ii) in an appeal against a decision of the Council under section thirty-two, the Administrative Court shall not substitute a penalty more severe than that imposed by the Council. (5) The Council and the Registrar shall comply with any decision of the Administrative Court made in terms of this section.
