A Disciplinary Committee decision dismissing a complaint is a decision in the legal sense only as regards the professional representative concerned and the Presidents of the epi and EPO, and only they can appeal against it. Thus the person who made the complaint has no right of appeal, and any appeal he does file is irreceivable.
