Section 120
Re-hearing of and appeal from inquiries and investigations
(1)
Where an inquiry or formal investigation has been held under section 119, the Minister may order the whole or part of the case to be re-heard, and must do so —
if new and important evidence which could not be produced at the inquiry or investigation has been discovered; or
if it appears to the Minister that there are other grounds for suspecting that a miscarriage of justice may have occurred.
(2)
An order under subsection (1) may provide for the re-hearing to be held by the persons who held the inquiry or investigation or by the General Division of the High Court.
(3)
Any re-hearing under this section which is not held by the General Division of the High Court must be conducted in accordance with the regulations made under section 121; and section 119 applies in relation to a re‑hearing of an investigation by a Commissioner as it applies to the holding of an investigation.
(4)
Where the persons holding the inquiry or investigation have decided to cancel or suspend the certificate of any person or have found any person at fault, then, if no application for an order under subsection (1) has been made or such application has been refused, that person or any other person who, having an interest in the inquiry or investigation, has appeared at the hearing and is affected by the decision or finding, may appeal to the General Division of the High Court.
