(3) Rules of court may make provision for the expeditious hearing of appeals under this section. | ||
(4) A decision or direction of an adjudicator, including a decision under section 29 (1), shall not be questioned, including as to its validity, other than by way of judicial review or appeal under this section, and in such an appeal the appellant may raise any of the grounds of challenge that could be raised by the appellant in judicial review proceedings against the decision. | ||
