29—Appeal

        (1)         A right of appeal to the Supreme Court shall lie against any order of the Board made in the exercise or purported exercise of any of its powers or functions under this Act.

        (2)         The appeal must be instituted within one month of the making of the order appealed against but the Supreme Court may, if it is satisfied that it is just and reasonable in the circumstances to do so, dispense with the requirement that the appeal should be so instituted.

        (3)         The Supreme Court may, on the hearing of the appeal, do one or more of the following, according to the nature of the case—

            (a)         affirm, vary or quash the order appealed against, or substitute, or make in addition, any order that should have been made in the first instance;

            (b)         remit the subject matter of the appeal to the Board for further hearing or consideration;

            (c)         make any further or other order as to costs or any other matter that the case requires.

        (4)         The Board shall, if so required by any person against whom an order has been made, state in writing the reasons for its order.

        (5)         If the reasons of the Board are not given in writing at the time of making an order and the appellant then requested the Board to state its reasons in writing, the time for instituting the appeal shall run from the time when the appellant receives the written statement of those reasons.
