The current appeals process, involving a hearing in the District Court, is set out in Section 33(5) of the Road Traffic Act 1961.
The legislation refers to an appeal following a decision under Section 33(4) of the Act, which in turn is a decision on granting or refusing a certificate of competence after a test.
For further clarity, Section 33(5) refers to challenges as to whether the test was ‘properly conducted’.
