103   Appeal rights

(1)  Nothing in this Part affects any right to appeal that a visiting practitioner may have under Part 4 in relation to the termination of his or her appointment.

(2)  However, a visiting practitioner cannot appeal under that Part against a decision under this Part to terminate his or her appointment because the practitioner has been convicted of a serious sex or violence offence in respect of:

(a)  a minor (but only if the offence committed involves sexual activity or acts of indecency with, or in relation to the minor), or

(b)  a patient or client of the practitioner if the offence is committed during the course of his or her practice as a medical practitioner or dentist (whether as a visiting practitioner or otherwise).

Note. Section 21 (1) of the Interpretation Act 1987 defines minor to mean an individual who is under the age of 18 years.
