If you have been served with an Improvement or Prohibition Notice you are legally entitled to appeal against the notice.

 

You may wish to do so if you disagree with the inspector's judgement that you are breaking the law or that your work activities risk personal injury.

If you wish to suspend a Prohibition Notice an application can be made in writing to the Tribunal Office dealing with your appeal. The notice will remain in force until the Tribunal says otherwise.
