43.—(1) Any person aggrieved by—
(a)a demolition order or refusal to determine such an order;

(c)a closing order or refusal to determine such an order; or
(d)a repair notice;
may, within 21 days from the date of the service of the notice or copy of the order or, as the case may be, from the service of notification of the refusal, appeal to the county court; and no steps shall be taken by the Executive to enforce any notice or order against which an appeal is brought before the appeal has been finally determined.
(2) An appeal shall not lie under paragraph (1)(a) or (c) at the instance of a person who is in occupation of the premises to which the order relates under a lease or agreement of which the unexpired term does not exceed one year.

(b)in the case of a closing order, that making a demolition order or serving a repair notice is the most satisfactory course of action;
(c)in the case of a repair notice, that making a demolition order or closing order is the most satisfactory course of action;
and, where the grounds on which an appeal is brought are or include that specified in sub-paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the court, on hearing the appeal, shall have regard to any guidance given to the Executive under Article 46A.
(4) On an appeal under this Article, the county court may confirm or quash or vary the notice, order or decision appealed against as the court considers fit.
