(1) The proprietor of a private educational institution which is refused a permit and registration under sections 98 and 99 or whose registration is cancelled under section 110(a) may, within 30 days of being notified of the refusal or cancellation, appeal to the Education Appeal Tribunal established under this Act against the refusal or cancellation, as the case may be.
(2) In the case of a refusal, a proprietor may appeal on any of the following grounds—
(a) that the reasons given for the decision do not disclose any failure to meet any of the requirements for registration set out in section 98;
(b) that the inspection of the school carried out under section 97(2) was not adequate for determining whether the school meets the requirements set out in section 99; or
(c) that there is no evidence available to support the decision.
(3) In case of a cancellation, a proprietor may appeal on any of the following grounds—
(a) that no notice was served on the proprietor under section 109;
(b) that the time specified in the notice served under section 109 or the further time allowed to the proprietor under section 110 to comply with the notice is unreasonable;
(c) that the proprietor has complied with the notice served under section 109; or
(d) that there is no evidence available to support the decision.
(4) Where an appeal is brought under this section against a cancellation of registration or a refusal to grant a permit, the Minister may not enforce the refusal or cancellation until the appeal is determined or withdrawn.
(5) The determination of an appeal by the Education Appeal Tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties to any such decision.
(6) Where an appeal is dismissed or withdrawn, cancellation of the registration of the private educational institution shall take effect from the date of the making of the order by the Education Appeal Tribunal dismissing the appeal, or the date of withdrawal of the appeal.
