|
27.—(1) Whenever a sanitary authority refuses an application for a slaughter licence or suspends or revokes a slaughter licence, the applicant for or holder of such licence may appeal against such refusal, suspension, or revocation (as the case may be) to a Justice of the District Court exercising jurisdiction in the functional area of such sanitary authority.
|
|
| |
(2) A Justice of the District Court hearing an appeal under this section may do such of the following things as are applicable and appear to him to be just and equitable having regard to all the circumstances of the case, that is to say:—
|
|
| |
(a) dismiss such appeal, either with or without costs to be paid by the appellant to the sanitary authority concerned;
|
|
| |
(b) in the case of an appeal against a refusal of an application for a slaughter licence, allow such appeal and order the sanitary authority to issue to the appellant a slaughter licence in accordance with such application;
|
|
| |
(c) in the case of an appeal against a suspension of a slaughter licence, allow such appeal and either annul such suspension or reduce the period thereof;
|
|
| |
(d) in the case of an appeal against a revocation of a slaughter licence, allow such appeal and annul such revocation;
|
|
| |
(e) where such Justice allows such appeal, order the sanitary authority concerned to pay to the appellant his costs of such appeal;
|
|
| |
(f) where such Justice allows such appeal, order the sanitary authority concerned to pay to the appellant such sum of money as such Justice shall specify by way of compensation to the appellant for the loss and damage suffered by him by reason of the refusal, suspension, or revocation which is the subject of such appeal.
|
|
| |
(3) Whenever a Justice of the District Court orders under this section a sanitary authority to issue a slaughter licence to an appellant, it shall be the duty of such sanitary authority to issue forthwith such slaughter licence to such appellant in accordance with such order, subject (where no fee was paid by the appellant on his original application for such licence or the fee paid by him on such application has been repaid to him) to payment of the prescribed fee by the appellant to such sanitary authority.
|
|
| |
(4) No appeal shall lie to the Circuit Court from an order made by a Justice of the District Court under this section.
