A society may appeal from any decision of the FCA—
to refuse registration of the society (including a refusal by reason only of anything contained in or omitted from the society’s rules) on any ground other than that the FCA is not satisfied that either of the conditions specified in section 1(2) of this Act is fulfilled; or
to refuse registration of any amendment of the society’s rules; or
to cancel the society’s registration (being a cancellation of which notice is required under section 16(3), and not being a cancellation by virtue of section 16(1)(c)(ii), of this Act) if the appeal is lodged before the expiration of the period of notice of the proposed cancellation given under the said section 16(3); or
to renew under section 17(1)(b) of this Act a suspension of the society’s registration so far as that renewal provides for the suspension to continue more than three months from the original date of suspension.
An appeal under the foregoing subsection shall lie to the High Court or, in the case of a society whose registered office is situated in Scotland, to the Court of Session
If any decision such as is mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (b) of this section is overruled on appeal, the FCA shall thereupon issue to the society an acknowledgment of registration of the society under section 2(3), or, as the case may be, of the amendment under section 10(3), of this Act.
