Before making under the provisions of this Part of this Act relating to nursing homes an order refusing an application for registration or an order cancelling any registration, the council of the county or county borough shall give to the applicant or to the person registered, as the case may be, not less than fourteen days notice of their intention to make such an order, and every such notice shall state the grounds on which the council intend to make the order and shall contain an intimation that, if within fourteen days after the receipt of the notice the applicant or person registered informs the council in writing that he desires so to do, the council will, before making the order, give him an opportunity of showing cause, in person or by a representative, why the order should not be made.

If the council, after giving to the applicant or to the person registered an opportunity of being heard by them, decide to refuse the application for registration or to cancel the registration, they shall make an order to that effect and shall send a copy of the order to the applicant or the person registered.

A person aggrieved by an order refusing an application for registration or cancelling any registration may appeal to a court of summary jurisdiction.
