(1)Where, under section 13, the Agency serves on the person concerned a notice containing directions (not being directions substituted for others in accordance with an application made by him under section 13(5)), he may, within 21 days from the date of service, appeal to the Appeals Board against the directions.

(a)that in all the circumstances it is unreasonable to expect the appellant to comply with the directions;
(b)that in all the circumstances the directions are not appropriate for promoting equality of opportunity; or

(4)On hearing the appeal the Appeals Board may—
(a)dismiss the appeal; or
(b)quash the directions or any of them ; or
(c)substitute for the directions or any of them such other directions (of a kind that the Agency could have given) as the Appeals Board considers reasonable and appropriate in all the circumstances.
