39. Appeal to Court of Appeal
(1) An applicant or the Monetary Authority may, if dissatisfied with a determination delivered under section 35(8), appeal to the Court of Appeal against the determination on a point of law.
(2) Where an appeal has been lodged under subsection (1) the Court of Appeal may, on application made to it, order a stay of execution of the determination of the Tribunal, subject to such conditions as to costs, payment of money into the Tribunal or otherwise as the Court of Appeal considers appropriate; but the lodging of an appeal under subsection (1) does not of itself operate as a stay of execution of the determination of the Tribunal.

(4) The Rules of the High Court (Cap. 4 sub. leg. A) apply in relation to such an appeal to the extent that those Rules are not inconsistent with this Ordinance.
