Racing Penalties (Appeals) Act 1990

A determination of the Tribunal in relation to an appeal —

shall be taken to be, and given effect to as though it had been, also the determination of RWWA, of a steward, of a racing club, or of a committee, from which the appeal was made; and

is final and binding on the parties to that appeal, and not subject to further appeal or review.

The Tribunal shall cause notice of any determination in relation to an appeal to be given to the parties to the appeal.

Upon a determination in respect of an appeal the Tribunal shall order that any security for costs lodged under section 16 be refunded to the appellant unless the Tribunal is of the opinion that the appeal was frivolous or vexatious and —

orders that the whole or part of the moneys be forfeited; or

makes an order for the payment of costs from those moneys to any other party to the appeal.

The member presiding shall, in every case, forward to the Minister a copy of the determination of the Tribunal, and shall if so requested also forward notes of the evidence given, and any member of the Tribunal who dissents from the determination may likewise forward written reasons for so dissenting.
