Section 269: Right of appeal against order.

Part IX: SLUM CLEARANCE

A person aggrieved by a demolition order may, within the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the order is made,, appeal to the appropriate tribunal.

No appeal lies at the instance of a person who is in occupation of the premises or part of the premises under a lease or agreement with an unexpired term of three years or less.

On an appeal the tribunal—

may make such order either confirming or quashing or varying the order as it thinks fit, . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

If an appeal is brought the order does not become operative until—

a decision on the appeal confirming the order (with or without variation) is given and the period within which an appeal to the Upper Tribunal may be brought expires without any such appeal having been brought, or

if a further appeal to the Upper Tribunal is brought, a decision on that appeal is given confirming the order (with or without variation);

and for this purpose the withdrawal of an appeal has the same effect as a decision confirming the order or decision appealed against.
