Foster Children Act 1980

11 Appeal to juvenile court against requirement or prohibition imposed under s. 9 or 10

(1) A person aggrieved by a requirement imposed under section 9 above or by a prohibition imposed under section 10 above may appeal to a juvenile court—

(a) within 14 days from the date on which he is notified of the requirement or prohibition ; or

(b) in the case of a prohibition imposed under section 10(2) above, within 14 days from the refusal by the local authority to accede to an application by him for the cancellation of the 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 court allows an appeal under subsection (1) above, the court, 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 court may specify unless such specified requirements as the local authority had power to impose under section 9 above are complied with.

(3) Any requirement or prohibition specified or substituted under this section by the court 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 above.
