F1I130 Revocation of authorised body’s designation.

1

Where an Order in Council has been made under section 29 designating a body as an authorised body, the Lord Chancellor may recommend to Her Majesty that an Order in Council be made revoking that designation.

2

An Order under this section may only be made if—

a

the authorised body has made a written request to the Lord Chancellor asking for it to be made;

b

that body has agreed (in writing) to its being made; or

c

the Lord Chancellor is satisfied that the circumstances at the time when he is considering the question are such that, had that body then been applying to become an authorised body, its application would have failed.

3

The provisions of Part III of Schedule 4 shall have effect with respect to the revocation of designations under this section.

4

An Order made under this section may make such transitional and incidental provision as the Lord Chancellor considers necessary or expedient.

5

Where such an Order is made, any right of audience or right to conduct litigation granted to any person by the body with respect to whom the Order is made shall cease to have effect, subject to any transitional provision made by the Order.

6

Where such an Order is made, the Lord Chancellor shall—

a

give the body with respect to whom the Order is made written notice of the making of the Order;

b

take such steps as are reasonably practicable to bring the making of the Order to the attention of the members of that body; and

c

publish notice of the making of the Order in such manner as he considers appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons (other than those members) who, in his opinion, are likely to be affected by the Order.
