Appeals against variation, suspension or revocation of marine licence3

1

A person to whom a notice under section 72 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (notice varying, suspending or revoking a marine licence, or extending a period of suspension) has been issued may appeal to the First-tier Tribunal4 against the notice.

2

Where an appeal is made under paragraph (1) against a notice varying a marine licence, that notice is suspended so far as it relates to the subject matter of the appeal from the time the appeal is made pending determination of the appeal.

3

The First-tier Tribunal may suspend any other notice referred to in paragraph (1), wholly or in part, pending determination of the appeal.

4

Where a notice revoking a marine licence is suspended under paragraph (3), the licence is to be treated pending determination of the appeal (or, if sooner, for so long as the notice is suspended) as never having been revoked by that notice.
