Procedure

I12

1

The notice which the OfS gives the governing body under section 73(1) must specify—

a

the amount required to be paid, and

b

the period within which payment is required to be made (which must not be less than 28 days).

2

The notice must also contain information as to—

a

how payment may be made,

b

rights of appeal,

c

the period within which an appeal may be made, and

d

the consequences of non-payment.

3

The governing body may require the OfS to provide a detailed breakdown of the amount specified in the notice.

4

The requirement to pay the costs is suspended at any time when—

a

an appeal under paragraph 3(1)(a) or (b), or a further appeal, could be brought in respect of the requirement to pay the costs, or

b

such an appeal is pending.

5

But that does not prevent the requirement to pay the costs taking effect if the governing body notifies the OfS that it does not intend to appeal.
