S.L. 65.33 Art. 69Right of appeal from imposition of penalty points and administrative penalties.

(1) A person aggrieved by the decision of the

Authority to impose administrative penalties and the corresponding penalty points may, within twenty (20) days from the date when such decision is communicated to him, lodge an appeal therefrom with the Tribunal.

(2) The Tribunal may confirm, revoke or alter the administrative penalty and the corresponding penalty points imposed by the Authority. The administrative penalty, if any, as confirmed or modified by the Tribunal, and, or by the Court of Appeal, where an appeal on a point of law is lodged in terms of the Act, shall be recoverable by the Authority as a civil debt and the decision of the Tribunal or the Court of Appeal, as the case may be, shall constitute an executive title for all intents and purposes of the Code of Organization and Civil Procedure.

(3) If, upon the renewal of any licence or permit granted in terms of these regulations, the person in whose name such licence or permit is granted owes the Authority a civil debt in terms of sub-regulation (2), such licence or permit shall not be renewed unless and until such time that the debt is settled in full.

(4) If at the moment that any check on compliance is carried out by the Authority, a civil debt in terms of sub-regulation (2) is due by the operator to the Authority, the relative licence shall be suspended without the need of recourse to the Tribunal until such debt is settled in full.
