Regulatory Excellence
Appeals Appeals can be filed by registrants, permit holders, applicants, or complainants who have received a decision made by one of APEGA’s statutory boards or committees. Professional engineers and geoscientists on the Appeal Board consider each appeal and decide if the previous decision maker used a fair process and made a reasonable decision. What can be appealed? •Registration refusals •Investigative dismissals •Discipline decisions •Practice review decisions
New Appeal Fee Starting January 1, 2023, we implemented a $300 appeal fee for two types of appeals: registration refusals and investigative dismissals. This increases an appellant’s stake in the process, which better serves the public interest.
•The fee reinforces the seriousness of
204 Average days to render a decision making an appeal and encourages appellants to participate more fully in the appeal process. •If the previous decision is modified or overturned, the fee is refunded to the appellant.
