The conferring by any Ordinance of a right of appeal or objection to the Chief

                instead of appealing or making an objection to the Chief Executive in Council, where
                an application for such an order would lie, but no proceedings by way of mandamus,
                certiorari, prohibition, injunction or other order shall be taken against the Chief
                Executive in Council in respect of any such appeal or objection to the Chief
                Executive in Council or any proceedings connected therewith.
