What happens if you are not happy with the outcome of the appeal?

Decisions of Appeals Panels are final and binding on all parties. The only further rights open to you if your appeal is not upheld is to complain to the Local Government Ombudsman if you consider there has been maladministration in the way your appeal was handled or to seek 'judicial review' of the decision through the Courts. This is not a right of appeal. Maladministration covers issues such as a failure to follow correct procedures or a failure to act independently and fairly, rather than complaints where a person simply feelsthat the decision taken is wrong.
