Application to set aside direction order.

11.— (1) The relevant institution in relation to which a direction order is made or a member of that institution may apply to the Court by motion on notice grounded on affidavit, not later than 5 working days after the making of a direction order, for the setting aside of the direction order.

(2) The Court shall give such priority to an application under subsection (1) as is necessary in the circumstances and may give such directions with regard to the hearing of the application as it considers appropriate in the circumstances.

(3) On an application under subsection (1), the Court shall set aside the direction order only if it is of the opinion that there has been non-compliance with any of the requirements of section 7 or that the opinion of the Minister under section 7 (2) was unreasonable or vitiated by an error of law.

(4) The Court may, instead of setting aside the direction order, make an order varying or amending that order in the manner it considers appropriate if the Court is satisfied that—

(a) there has been non-compliance with any of the requirements of section 7 or that the opinion of the Minister under section 7 (2) was unreasonable or vitiated by an error of law,

(b) it would be appropriate to do so, having regard to any report referred to in section 9 (4), and

(c) to do so is necessary to secure the achievement of the purpose specified in the direction order or any other purpose of this Act.

(5) An order under subsection (3) is effective, from the date of its making, to set aside the direction order without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done or taken to have been done under the direction order.

(6) An order under subsection (4) has effect, from the date of its making, to vary or amend the direction order without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done or taken to have been done under the direction order.
