173—Appeals and suspension of disqualification

        (1)         A person who, by virtue of an order of a court under this Act, is disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver's licence may appeal against the order in the same manner as against a conviction.

        (2)         Pending the hearing and determination of any such appeal, the operation of any such order may be suspended—

            (a)         in the case of an order made by a court of summary jurisdiction, by the court which made the order or a judge of the Supreme Court;

            (b)         in the case of an order made by the Supreme Court, by a judge of that Court.

        (3)         An order of suspension may be made before or after the institution of the appeal, but does not have effect until the defendant—

            (a)         has duly instituted the appeal and paid the appropriate court fees; and

            (b)         has served on the Registrar of Motor Vehicles the order of suspension, or a copy of the order, and a notice that the appeal has been duly instituted and the fees paid.
