High Severity

Narrow Appeal Grounds Threaten Businesses

The provision limits High Court review to four narrow grounds, excluding challenges based on proportionality (whether penalties fit the violation) or procedural fairness (whether the Division followed fair processes). Combined with 59's immediate enforcement requirement, businesses facing license suspension or revocation cannot effectively challenge these decisions before their operations are destroyed. A media outlet or platform suspended during the appeal period—which may take months or years—faces business collapse, employee loss, and market exit before judicial review occurs, making appeals practically meaningless even if ultimately successful.
