thereof, of the nature of the training undergone and of the practical
experience acquired as the Board demands.

of the holder the Board may, if it thinks fit, require the applicant
to undergo such additional training in New Zealand and to pass such
examination as it specifies.

(4) Within thirty-one days after receipt of such notice of appeal
the Board shall inform the appellant of the name of the Magistrate

therefrom to such Magistrate.

previous notice of such place and time to be given to the assessors,
the Board, and the appellant.

(6) At the hearing of the appeal the appellant may herself appear,
or may be represented by some other person on her behalf, and the

solicitor or counsel shall appear or be heard.

(7) The order made in respect of the appeal shall be in writing,
