I may be jumping ahead somewhat but when the board conducts an investigation an authorised officer goes out, the report comes back in and there is a finding by the committee. The matter can go to the appeals committee, a sanction can be applied to the dog, a fine may be imposed, it may be banned from racing or whatever. If the owner wants to object to that at any stage that would have to be done through the appeals committee. Am I right in saying that the only way they could revert to the court would be by way of judicial review?
