The CSA was granted leave to appeal the decision of the CSA Hearing Panel by the CSA Appeals Committee on 23 March 2011. On April 18th the Appeals Committee informed the CSA that the original decision of the Hearing Panel would be upheld.

The CSA argued that the Hearing Panel exceeded its jurisdiction by placing a condition on the sanctions issued against Shauna Aab, Danny Bowie, Les Hodges and Mike Troke. Namely, that the CSA could only enforce the sanctions if  all other parties who had commenced litigation also be held accountable.

Counsel for Aab, Bowie, Hodges and Troke did not file an appeal of the Hearing Panel decision but did ask that the suspensions be revoked and substituted with no penalty whatsoever.

The CSA Appeals Committee dismissed the appeals filed by the CSA and upheld the decision of the original Hearing Panel in full.

So will the CSA now send hearing notices to Mr Innes and Mr Magdee?
