Pharmacy Act, 1974 (Act No. 53 of 1974)

The pharmacy owner may, in terms of Section 24 of the Pharmacy Act read together with Chapter XII of the Regulations relating to the registration of persons and the maintenance of registers, appeal the decision of the Council to remove the registration/recording of the pharmacy as a result of non-compliance with GPP and other pharmacy legislation as per this guideline.

In terms of Regulation 89 of the Regulations relating to the registration of persons and the maintenance of registers, if an appeal has been properly noted, the decision appealed against and any execution thereof shall be suspended pending the outcome of the appeal, unless the appeal committee, upon the urgent motion of the Council or the Registrar, is, on the strength of prima facie proof, of the opinion that it is in the public interest that a temporary suspension order should be granted and imposed pending the outcome of the appeal.
