(4) Where the Council or a Disciplinary Committee has made an order revoking or suspending a licence or registration and the licensee or salesperson concerned gives due notice of appeal to the Appeals Board under this section, the order that is appealed against is stayed pending the determination of the appeal unless the Appeals Board, on the application of the Council, orders otherwise. (5) The Appeals Board may —(a) confirm, set aside or modify the decision to which the appeal relates; (b) give such directions in such manner as the Appeals Board thinks fit, including a direction to the Council to review the decision to which the appeal relates; or (c) make such orders (if any) as it thinks fit, with regard to the payment of costs, and the decision of the Appeals Board is final. (6) The decision of the Appeals Board must be communicated to the licensee or salesperson in person, or in writing by the secretary to the Appeals Board. (7) Unless otherwise ordered, an order of the Appeals Board takes effect immediately upon pronouncement.
