Under the DPS Ordinance, certain decisions of the Board and the HKMA can be the subject of an appeal to the Deposit Protection Appeals Tribunal (the Tribunal). These include the Board's decisions regarding whether a foreign bank branch can be exempted from participation in the DPS, the amount of contribution payable by a Scheme member, and the amount of compensation payable to a depositor, as well as the HKMA's decision to impose an asset maintenance requirement on a Scheme member. Sittings of the Tribunal will be convened only on a need basis.
