Foster Children (Scotland) Act 1984

11 Appeal to sheriff against requirement or prohibition imposed under section 9 or 10

(1) A person aggrieved by a requirement imposed under section 9, or by a prohibition imposed under section 10, may appeal to the sheriff within 14 days from the date on which he is notified of the requirement or prohibition; and where the appeal is against a requirement imposed under section 9, the requirement shall not have effect while the appeal is pending.

(2) Where the sheriff allows an appeal under subsection (1), the sheriff, instead of cancelling the requirement or prohibition—

(a) may vary the requirement or allow more time for compliance with it; or

(b) if an absolute prohibition has been imposed, may substitute for it a prohibition on using the premises after such time as the sheriff may specify unless such specified requirements as the local authority had power to impose under section 9 are complied with.

(3) Any requirement or prohibition specified or substituted under this section by the sheriff shall be deemed for the purposes of this Act, other than this section, to have been imposed by the local authority under section 9 or, as the case may be, section 10.
