Before making an order refusing an application for registration or an order cancelling any registration, the F2Health Board shall give to the applicant or to the person registered, as the case may be, not less than fourteen days’ notice of their intention to make such an order, and every such notice shall state the grounds on which the F2Board intend to make the order and shall contain an intimation that, if within fourteen days after the receipt of the notice the applicant or person registered informs the F2Board in writing that he desires so to do, the F2Board will, before making the order, give him an opportunity of showing cause, in person or by a representative, why the order should not be made.

Where a F2Health Board have made an order refusing an application for registration or cancelling any registration, they shall cause a copy of the order to be sent to the applicant or the person registered.

Any person aggrieved by an order refusing an application for registration or cancelling any registration may, within fourteen days after the date on which the copy of the order was sent to him, appeal against it to the sheriff, whose decision shall be final and shall be given effect to by the F2Health Board.

No such order shall come into force until the expiration of fourteen days from the date on which it was made, or, where notice of appeal is given against it, until the appeal has been decided or withdrawn.
