(4) A person who is the subject of an equality and compliance notice may at any time before the expiry of the period referred to in subsection (3) apply to the Commission to have the notice concerned removed from the register and the Commission may, if it considers it appropriate to do, so remove the notice.

(5) An appeal shall lie to the District Court from a refusal by the Commission to remove an equality and human rights compliance notice.

(6) The register shall be made available for inspection by members of the public at all reasonable times at the principal office of the Commission.

(7) The jurisdiction conferred on the District Court under this section shall be exercised by a judge of that court for the time being assigned to the district court district in which the person on whom the equality and human rights compliance notice is served ordinarily resides or carries on any profession, business or occupation.
