Object of review

128 (1) The Commission or the person conducting the review must determine, as the case may be, whether the amount of the penalty for the violation was determined in accordance with the regulations or whether the person committed the violation, or both. (2) The Commission or the person conducting the review must make a determination in writing and cause the person who requested the review to be served with a copy of the determination and the reasons for it. (3) If the Commission or the person conducting the review determines that the amount of the penalty for the violation was not determined in accordance with the regulations, the Commission or the person, as the case may be, must correct the amount of the penalty. (4) If the Commission or the person conducting the review determines that the person who requested the review committed the violation, the person who requested the review is liable to the penalty as set out in the determination. (5) Despite subsection 69(1) and (2), a determination made under this section is final and binding and, except for judicial review under the Federal Courts Act, is not subject to appeal or to review by any court.
