The appeal shall be accompanied by a cheque for $100 (one hundred dollars) and made payable to the KMHA.

The appellant must register the appeal within ten (10) days of the rendering of the decision from which he is appealing. The General Manager shall forthwith direct the three members of the tribunal, as designated by the President, to hold a hearing at the appointed time and notify the appellant and any other person who has an obvious interest in the same thereof.

The appeal Tribunal, which shall be called the KMHA Appeal tribunal shall consist of one member of the board of directors, one league convener and one additional member (who shall select from among them a chairperson) and the majority decision thereof shall be final and binding.

The tribunal shall at the conclusion of the hearing, or soon thereafter as is practical, in written form, signed by each member of the tribunal, render its decision. The tribunal may also recommend refunding, in whole or in part the $100 (one hundred dollar fee)
