##### 63P Appeals
(1) Subject to subsection (1A), an unattached officer may appeal to a Disciplinary Appeal Committee:
(a) against a finding under section 63K or 63L in respect of a charge that he has committed misconduct—on the grounds that the charge should have been dismissed; or
(b) against a direction referred to in:
(i) paragraph 63K(3A)(b), (c) or (d); or
(ii) paragraph 63L(3A)(b), (c) or (d); or
(iii) paragraph 63M(1)(c) or (d);
on the ground that the giving of the direction is, in relation to the finding or conviction concerned, unduly severe.
(1A) An unattached officer is not entitled to appeal under subsection (1), and is not to be deemed to have appealed under subsection (2), against a direction under paragraph 63K(3A)(b) or 63L(3A)(b) if the amount directed to be deducted does not exceed $50.
(2) Where an unattached officer has appealed against a finding of a kind referred to in paragraph (1)(a) and a direction of a kind referred to in paragraph (1)(b) was given in relation to the finding, the officer shall be deemed to have appealed also against that direction on the ground specified in paragraph (1)(b).
(3) Subject to subsection (4), a Disciplinary Appeal Committee may confirm or set aside a finding or a direction appealed against.
(4) Where a Disciplinary Appeal Committee sets aside the finding in respect of a charge under section 63K or 63L, being a finding in relation to which a direction of a kind referred to in paragraph (1)(b) was given, the direction shall be deemed to have been set aside.
