Leicester Tigers have lodged an appeal with the Rugby Football Union into the nine-week suspension handed down to director of rugby Richard Cockerill.
The appeal will specifically concentrate on "elements of the sanction" instead of questioning the guilty charge.
Tigers were hugely critical of the processes involved in the initial hearing and released a statement that said: "There are elements of the way in which they (the RFU) have conducted this case which, in our opinion, calls into question the new disciplinary structure."
A date to hear the case will be announced by the RFU in due course.
