(1) A person whose fisheries resources have been seized under this Act may
appeal to the Magistrates Court nearest where the fisheries resources were
seized.
(2) However, the person may not appeal, and any appeal already
started by the person lapses, if the fisheries resources become the property
of the State.
(3) Also, the person may not appeal if the fisheries resources
are returned to the wild under section 159(2) .
(4) The appeal is started
by—
(a) filing a written notice of appeal with the clerk of the court of the
Magistrates Court; and
(b) giving a copy of the notice to the chief
executive.
(5) Without limiting subsection (4) (b) , the chief executive is
given a copy of the notice if a copy is given to the inspector who seized the
fisheries resources.
(6) The notice of appeal must state the grounds of the
appeal.
