sec.244 Staying operation of original decision on internal review
The application for an internal review does not stay the original decision. However, the applicant may immediately apply for a stay of the original decision to the relevant body. The relevant body may stay the original decision to secure the effectiveness of the internal review and a later appeal to the court or external review by QCAT. The relevant body may stay the operation of the internal review decision on conditions the relevant body considers appropriate. The stay operates for the period decided by the relevant body. The period of the stay must not extend past the time when the commission makes an internal review decision about the original decision and any later period the relevant body allows the applicant to enable the applicant to appeal against, or apply for an external review of, the internal review decision. An internal review application affects the original decision, or carrying out of the decision, only if the decision is stayed. In this section— relevant body means— for an original decision to seize or forfeit an animal or other thing—the court; or for another original decision—QCAT.
