Right of appeal

An appeal made under this article shall not suspend the operation of any decision from which the appeal is made:

Provided that a decision to cancel a licence or to impose an administrative penalty in terms of this Act or any other regulatory instrument shall not become operative until the expiration of the period within which an appeal lies under this article and, if an appeal is made within such period, the decision shall become operative on the date of the decision of the Tribunal dismissing the appeal or the date on which the appeal is abandoned:

Provided further that when a decision to cancel a licence or other authorisation is appealed, pending the determination of the appeal the relevant licence or authorisation shall be deemed suspended.
