PART 5Compensation
Appeal to the county court24
1
A claimant that is dissatisfied with a decision of the relevant authority on a review under regulation 23 may appeal to the county court.
2
An appeal must be brought within a period of 21 days beginning with the date on which the claimant received written notice of the authority’s decision on review.
3
The court may give permission for an appeal to be brought after the end of that period, but only if it is satisfied—
a
where permission is sought before the end of that period, that there is a good reason for the claimant to be unable to bring the appeal in time, or
b
where permission is sought after the end of that period, that there is a good reason for the claimant’s failure to bring the appeal in time and for any delay in applying for permission.
4
An appeal under this regulation is to be by way of rehearing and the court may make such order confirming, quashing or varying the decision as it thinks fit.
