##### 21 Enactment may provide for disciplinary appeals to be heard by Disciplinary Appeal Committees
An enactment may provide that appeals of a specified kind in relation to disciplinary action in relation to Commonwealth employees, not being appeals to which section 16 applies, may be made to a Disciplinary Appeal Committee established in accordance with this Subdivision and where an enactment so provides:
(a) the Agency shall, from time to time, arrange for the establishment of such Disciplinary Appeal Committees as appear to it to be required for the purpose of hearing appeals of that kind;
(b) in hearing an appeal of that kind a Disciplinary Appeal Committee has and may exercise the same powers in relation to procedure that it would have or could exercise if it were hearing an appeal to which section 16 applies; and
(c) the enactment may make such modification to sections 17, 18, 19 and 20 and to paragraph (b) of this section, in their application to appeals of that kind, as are necessary to enable a Disciplinary Appeal Committee to be constituted to hear appeals of that kind.
