59G.—(1) If the registered medical practitioner concerned or the Medical Council is dissatisfied with a decision of or an order by the Disciplinary Tribunal mentioned in section 59D(2), (4) or (5) or 59E, the registered medical practitioner or the Medical Council may, within 30 days after the service on the registered medical practitioner of the notice of the decision or order, appeal to the General Division of the High Court against the decision or order. (2) An appeal under this section is to be heard by 3 Judges of the General Division of the High Court and from the decision of the General Division of the High Court there is to be no appeal. (3) In any appeal to the General Division of the High Court against a decision or an order mentioned in section 59D(2), (4) or (5) or 59E, the General Division of the High Court is to accept as final and conclusive any finding of the Disciplinary Tribunal relating to any issue of medical ethics or standards of professional conduct unless such finding is in the opinion of the General Division of the High Court unsafe, unreasonable or contrary to the evidence. (4) Despite sections 59D, 59E and 59F, where an appeal has been made to the General Division of the High Court against a decision or an order of the Disciplinary Tribunal mentioned in section 59D(2) or 59E (called in this section a relevant order), the relevant order is not to take effect until after —(a) the relevant order is confirmed by the General Division of the High Court; (b) the appeal is for any reason dismissed by the General Division of the High Court; or (c) the appeal is withdrawn. (5) Subsection (4) does not apply if, at the time of making the relevant order —(a) where a relevant order is made under section 59D(2)(a) or (b) or 59E(1) or (3) — the Disciplinary Tribunal makes an order under section 59E(6)(c) or (d); or (b) in any other case — the Disciplinary Tribunal orders that the relevant order take effect immediately despite an appeal because doing so —(i) is necessary for the protection of members of the public or is otherwise in the public interest; or (ii) would be in the best interests of the registered medical practitioner concerned.[Act 34 of 2020 wef 01/07/2022]
