(a)an appeal against the decision has been brought but not determined;
(b)an application for leave to appeal against the decision has been made but not determined; or
(c)in such circumstances as may be prescribed, an appeal against the decision has not been brought (or, as the case may be, an application for leave to appeal against the decision has not been made) but the time for doing so has not yet expired.
(6)In paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of subsection (5) above, any reference to an appeal, or an application for leave to appeal, against a decision includes a reference to—
(a)an application for, or for leave to apply for, judicial review of the decision under section 31 of the [1981 c. 54.] Supreme Court Act 1981; or
