        decision, appeal to the Administrative Appeals Board.

(2) A decision cancelling registration under regulation 9 or suspending
registration under regulation 10 that is appealed against under subsection (1)
shall be suspended in its operation as from the day on which the appeal is
made until such appeal is disposed of, withdrawn or abandoned unless such
suspension would, in the opinion of the Commissioner for Labour, be contrary
to the public interest and the notice of the decision contains a statement to
that effect.

(3) The Commissioner for Labour shall cause notice of the determination of the
appeal by the Administrative Appeals Boards, together with a statement of the
decision, to be served on the proprietor of the industrial undertaking where
