84E Review of actions taken or fines imposed
(1) Where under this Part a prescribed member takes action or
imposes a fine on a member, the member may, within 7 days of
being advised of the action or fine, apply in writing to the
Commanding Officer of the Police Command in which the member
was employed at the time the breach was committed to have the
matter reviewed.
(2) As soon as practicable after receiving an application under
subsection (1), the Commanding Officer shall arrange for a
prescribed member holding a rank higher than that of the
prescribed member taking the action or imposing the fine to review
the matter.
(3) Subject to the Regulations and the directions, if any, of the
Commanding Officer, a prescribed member required under
subsection (2) to review a matter may review it in such manner as
the prescribed member thinks fit and, in substitution for the action
taken or fine imposed by the other prescribed member, take such
action or impose such fine as he thinks fit and which could have
been taken or imposed by the other prescribed member.
(4) Nothing in this section prevents a member from appealing under
Part VI against an action taken or fine imposed under
subsection (3) or section 81(2)(d)(ii).
