(b)the member of the group that is the representative member;

(c)the date on which the designation takes effect.

(4)The effects of designating a group are that—

(ii)any other body corporate that was a member of the group on the date by which the representative member was required to pay the amount.

(5)WRA may designate a group of bodies corporate only on the application of one or more of those bodies.

(6)An application to designate a group must be made in writing; and the body or bodies making the application must satisfy WRA that it is made with the agreement of every other proposed member of the group.

(7)If WRA refuses an application to designate a group, it must issue a notice of its decision to the body or bodies that made the application.
