Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Act 2024 section 117

Appeal to High Court

Section 117 provides for a further appeal from an appeals officer's determination to the High Court, but only on a point of law.

• An applicant may appeal an appeals officer's determination to the High Court, but only on a point of law — not on the facts of the case.
• The appeal must be brought within 28 days of the date on which the notification of the determination is sent to the applicant.
• Where the appeal involves an employer who was treated as a party to the original or substituted determination but is a different person to the applicant, that employer also has 28 days from the date their own notification was sent to bring an appeal.
• A High Court decision on such an appeal is final and conclusive, and may specify a time period within which effect must be given to the decision.
