I169Outcome of a section 68 review
1
On a review under section 68, the review panel appointed under section 55 to conduct it—
a
must consider—
i
whether the panel which determined, under section 66(3), whether or not to invite the nominated beneficiary to take over the application ought to have reached a different determination, and
ii
in a case where additional evidence is provided to or obtained by the review panel, whether the application ought to be determined differently as a result,
b
may uphold or reverse the determination.
2
Once the review panel has conducted the review, Redress Scotland must inform the Scottish Ministers who must, as soon as reasonably practicable—
a
notify the nominated beneficiary of the review panel's determination, and
b
provide the nominated beneficiary with a summary, provided by Redress Scotland, of the review panel's reasons for reaching that determination.
3
Where the review panel reverses the determination in respect of which the review was requested, the Scottish Ministers must invite the nominated beneficiary to take over the application.
4
Where the review panel determines that the nominated beneficiary is to be invited to take over the application, the application is to be treated as having been continued by virtue of section 66(3).
5
The determination of the review panel under this section is final.
