27 Application for external review

(1) Application may be made to the Tribunal for a review of a decision by the driver licensing authority under supporting principle 26. (2) Despite paragraph 26(1)(c), review of a decision by the driver licensing authority to suspend or cancel a driver licence under paragraph 23(1)(e) does not permit review of: (a) the guilt or innocence of the person to whom that paragraph relates; or (b) the imposition of a penalty or the level of a penalty imposed on a person to whom that paragraph relates. (3) An application for external review must be made within 28 days after the affected person is notified of the decision made by the driver licensing authority under supporting principle 26. (4) If the driver licensing authority fails to notify the affected person of its decision as required by clause 26(6), the person may apply for external review within 28 days after the end of the period mentioned in that clause. (5) The making of an application for external review does not affect the operation of the decision, unless otherwise ordered by the Tribunal.
