Disability Discrimination Act 2005

New section 47L: Penalties under sections 47D to 47H: appeals

105.This section sets out the right of an operator subject to a penalty under these provisions to appeal to a court on the grounds that either they are not liable to a penalty, or that the level is too high. An appeal under this section is a re-hearing of the Secretary of State’s original decision to impose a penalty and may be brought whether or not the operator has given a notice of objection under section 47K(4), or the Secretary of State has already reduced a penalty.
