Byelaws - Appeals against an ABC decision
If you are a member and wish to appeal against a decision by ABC's Chief Executive, either under section 12 (Complaints Procedure) or section 13 (Review Procedure), there is a standard form which you must use to request the review of the decision by an ABC Board Panel.
The purpose of the request for review form is to ensure the appeal is linked to the allowable grounds for appeal and that it has been authorised at director level. Please refer to the relevant clauses of sections 12 or 13 which detail when and how the form is to be used.

*For titles reporting under Republic of Ireland Reporting Standards any appeal to a Panel under sections 12 or 13 of the Byelaws will be referred to the Irish (ROI) Council instead of the ABC Board. In these cases please refer to the Byelaws reproduced in the appendix of the ROI Reporting Standards documents which include an explanation of this.
