(c) that it appears to the Commission that the applicant, in promoting any other collection authorised under this Chapter or under section 119 of the 1982 Act, failed to exercise the required due diligence;
(d) that the Commission is not satisfied that the applicant will exercise the required due diligence in promoting the proposed collections;
(e) that it appears to the Commission that the amount likely to be applied for charitable, benevolent or philanthropic purposes in consequence of the proposed collections would be inadequate, having regard to the likely amount of the proceeds of the collections;
(f) that it appears to the Commission that the applicant or any other person would be likely to receive an amount by way of remuneration in connection with the collections that would be excessive, having regard to all the circumstances;
(g) that the applicant has failed to provide information—
(i) required for the purposes of the application for the certificate or a previous application, or
(ii) in response to a request under section 54(1);
(h) that it appears to the Commission that information so provided to it by the applicant is false or misleading in a material particular;

(i) has breached any conditions attached to a previous public collections certificate, or
(ii) has persistently breached any conditions attached to a permit issued under section 59;
(j) that it appears to the Commission that the applicant or any person authorised by him has on any occasion breached any provision of regulations made under section 63(1)(b).

(iv) an offence under this Chapter;
(v) an offence involving dishonesty; or
(vi) an offence of a kind the commission of which would, in the opinion of the Commission, be likely to be facilitated by the issuing to the applicant of a public collections certificate; and
(b) the “required due diligence” is due diligence—
(i) to secure that persons authorised by the applicant to act as collectors for the purposes of the collection were (or will be) fit and proper persons;
(ii) to secure that such persons complied (or will comply) with the provisions of regulations under section 63(1)(b) of this Act or (as the case may be) section 119 of the 1982 Act; or
