A person on whom an enforcement notice is served may, within 21 days from the day on which the enforcement notice is served, appeal to the court.

On an appeal under this regulation the court may either cancel or affirm the enforcement notice, and, if it affirms it, may do so either in its original form or with such modifications as the court may in the circumstances think fit.

Where an appeal is brought under this regulation against an enforcement notice, the bringing of the appeal shall have the effect of suspending the operation of the notice until the appeal is finally disposed of or, if the appeal is withdrawn, until the withdrawal of the appeal.

In this regulation “the court” means a county court having jurisdiction over the division in which any relevant workplace is situated, and for this purpose, “relevant workplace” is a workplace in respect of which the enforcement notice was served.
