If the Registrar is satisfied that —
the applicants are not duly authorised to apply for registration;
the purposes of the trade union are unlawful; or
the application is not in conformity with this Law,
he may refuse registration.
When the Registrar refuses to register a trade union he shall forthwith inform the applicants in writing of the grounds of refusal.
An appeal shall lie to the Grand Court —
from the refusal of the Registrar to register a trade union; and
from a decision of the Registrar to cancel the registration of a trade union,
and on such appeal the Grand Court may make such order as it thinks proper including any directions as to the costs of the appeal. Any such order of the Grand Court shall be final.
The Grand Court may make rules governing such appeals providing for the method of giving evidence, prescribing the time within which such appeals shall be brought, the fees to be paid, procedure to be followed and the manner of notifying the Registrar of the appeal.
The Registrar shall be entitled to be heard on any appeal.
