It's not clear on what grounds the disgraced politician is fighting the proposed sanction.
If her appeal fails and MPs back the punishment, recommended by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, it will trigger a recall petition in her Rutherglen and Hamilton West constituency, which could ultimately result in a by-election.
In his investigation, Daniel Greenberg, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, said Ms Ferrier had breached paragraph 11 of the MP's Code of Conduct “by placing her own personal interest of not wishing to self-isolate immediately or in London over the public interest of avoiding possible risk of harm to health and life for people she came into contact with once she had received a positive Covid-19 test result”.
They said this was compounded by the fact she lied to the SNP Chief Whip and delayed notifying the parliamentary test and trace team. They said the MP's actions"demonstrated, in particular, a lack of honesty, one of the Seven Principles of Public Life."
