Appeals Tribunal

The Barbados Medicinal Cannabis Appeals Tribunal has been established to hear appeals in accordance with the Act. A person who is aggrieved by a decision of the BMCLA may appeal to the Tribunal by way of notice of appeal within 14 days of the date of the decision or within such longer period as the Tribunal may, in any special circumstances, allow.

A copy of the notice of appeal, together with copies of any correspondence, document or statement shall be served to the Authority.

The Tribunal shall cause all parties to the appeal to be informed:

• of the date of the hearing of the appeal, which should be within 30 days from the date on which the statement is served on the appellant;
• that they may appear in person or be represented by an attorney-at-law or an agent; and
• that they may call witnesses on their behalf.

Anyone who is dissatisfied by the decision of the Tribunal may, within 30 days after the party is notified of the decision, appeal to the High Court against the decision in accordance with the rules of the court.
