oriiito prevent badges or certificates of authority being obtained by persons other than those the applicant had so authorised.3Where an application for a certificate is made by more than one person, any reference to the applicant in subsection (1) or (2) is to be construed as a reference to any of the applicants.4Subject to subsections (5) and (6), the reference in subsection (2)(b)(iii) to badges or certificates of authority is a reference to badges or certificates of authority in a form prescribed by regulations under section 63(1)(b) of this Act or (as the case may be) under section 119 of the 1982 Act.5Subsection (2)(b) applies to the conduct of the applicant (or any of the applicants) in relation to any public charitable collection authorised—aunder regulations made under section 5 of the 1916 Act (collection of money or sale of articles in a street or other public place), orbunder the 1939 Act (collection of money or other property by means of visits from house to house),as it applies to his conduct in relation to a collection authorised under this Chapter, but subject to the modifications set out in subsection (6).6The modifications are—ain the case of a collection authorised under regulations made under the 1916 Act—ithe reference in subsection (2)(b)(ii) to regulations under section 63(1)(b) of this Act is to be construed as a reference to the regulations under which the collection in question was authorised, andiithe reference in subsection (2)(b)(iii) to badges or certificates of authority is to be construed as a reference to any written authority provided to a collector pursuant to those regulations;

for information and documents541The Commission may request—aany applicant for a public collections certificate, orbany person to whom such a certificate has been issued,to provide it with any information in his possession, or document in his custody or under this control, which is relevant to the exercise of any of its functions under this Chapter.2Nothing in this section affects the power conferred on the Commission by section 52 of the Charities Act 2011.Transfer of certificate between trustees of unincorporated charity551One or more individuals to whom a public collections certificate has been issued (“the holders”) may apply to the Commission for a direction that the certificate be transferred to one or more other individuals (“the recipients”).2An application under subsection (1) must—abe in such form as may be specified, andbcontain such information as may be specified.3The Commission may direct that the certificate be transferred if it is satisfied that—aeach

transfer.4Where the Commission refuses to direct that a certificate be transferred, it must serve on the holders written notice of—aits decision, andbthe reasons for its decision.5That notice must also state the right of appeal conferred by section 57(2) and the time within which such an appeal must be brought.6Subsections (5) and (6) of section 51 apply for the purposes of subsection (2) of this section as they apply for the purposes of subsection (3) of that section.7Except as provided by this section, a public collections certificate is not transferable.Withdrawal or variation <Abbreviation Expansion="et cetera" xml:lang="la">etc.</Abbreviation> of certificates561Where subsection (2), (3) or (4) applies, the Commission may—awithdraw a public collections certificate,bsuspend such a certificate,cattach any condition (or further condition) to such a certificate, ordvary any existing condition of such a certificate.2This subsection applies where the Commission—ahas reason to believe there has been a change in the circumstances which prevailed at the time when it issued the certificate, andbis of the opinion that, if the application for the certificate had been made in the new circumstances, it would not have issued the certificate or would have issued it subject to different or additional conditions.3This subsection applies where—athe holder of a certificate has unreasonably refused to provide any information or document in response to a request under section 54(1), orbthe Commission has reason to believe that information provided to it by the holder of a certificate (or, where there is more than one holder, by any of them) for the purposes of the application for the certificate, or in response to such a request, was false or misleading in a material particular.4This subsection applies where the Commission has reason to believe that there has been or is likely to be a breach of any condition of a certificate, or that a breach of such a condition is continuing.5Any condition imposed at any time by the Commission under subsection (1) (whether by attaching a new condition to the certificate or by varying an existing condition) must be one that it would be appropriate for the Commission to attach to the certificate under section 52(4) if the holder was applying for it in the circumstances prevailing at that time.6The exercise by the Commission of the power conferred by paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of subsection (1) on one occasion does not prevent it from exercising any of the powers conferred by that subsection on a subsequent occasion; and on any subsequent occasion the reference in subsection (2)(a) to the time when the Commission issued the certificate is a reference to the time when it last exercised any of those powers.7Where the Commission—awithdraws or suspends a certificate,battaches a condition to a certificate, orcvaries an existing condition of a certificate,it must serve on the holder written notice of its decision and the reasons for its decision.8That notice must also state the right of appeal conferred by section 57(3) and the time within which such an appeal must be brought.9If the Commission—aconsiders that the interests of the public require a decision by it under this section to have immediate effect, andbincludes a statement to that effect and the reasons for it in the notice served under subsection (7),the decision takes effect when that notice is served on the holder.10In any other case the certificate shall continue to have effect as if it had not been withdrawn or suspended or (as the case may be) as if the condition had not been attached or varied—auntil the time for bringing an appeal under section 57(3) has expired, orbif such an appeal is duly brought, until the determination or abandonment of the appeal.11A certificate suspended under this section shall (subject to any appeal and any withdrawal of the certificate) remain suspended until—asuch time as the Commission may by notice direct that the certificate is again in force, orbthe end of the period of six months beginning with the date on which the suspension takes effect,whichever is the sooner.Appeals against decisions of the Commission571A person who has duly applied to the Commission for a public collections certificate may appeal to the Tribunal against a decision of the Commission under section 52—ato refuse to issue the certificate, orbto attach any condition to it.2A person to whom a public collections certificate has been issued may appeal to the Tribunal against a decision of the Commission not to direct that the certificate be transferred under section 55.3A person to whom a public collections certificate has been issued may appeal to the Tribunal against a decision of the Commission under section 56—ato withdraw or suspend the certificate,bto attach a condition to the certificate, orcto vary an existing condition of the certificate.4The Attorney General may appeal to the Tribunal against a decision of the Commission—ato issue, or to refuse to issue, a certificate,bto attach, or not to attach, any condition to a certificate (whether under section 52 or section 56),cto direct, or not to direct, that a certificate be transferred under section 55,dto withdraw or suspend, or not to withdraw or suspend, a certificate, oreto vary, or not to vary, an existing condition of a certificate.5In determining an appeal under this section, the Tribunal—amust consider afresh the decision appealed against, andbmay take into account evidence which was not available to the Commission.6On an appeal under this section, the Tribunal may—adismiss the appeal,bquash the decision, orcsubstitute for the decision another decision of a kind that the Commission could have made;and in any case the Tribunal may give such directions as it thinks fit, having regard to the provisions of this Chapter and of regulations under section 63.7If the Tribunal quashes the decision, it may remit the matter to the Commission (either generally or for determination in accordance with a finding made or direction given by the Tribunal).8In this section “the Tribunal”, in relation to any appeal under this section, means—athe Upper Tribunal, in any case where it is determined by or under Tribunal Procedure Rules that the Upper Tribunal is to hear the appeal; orbthe First-tier Tribunal, in any other case;<Emphasis>Permits</Emphasis>Applications for permits to conduct collections in public places581A person or persons proposing to promote a collection in a public place (other than an exempt collection) in the area of a local authority may apply to the authority for a permit to conduct that collection.2The application must be made within the prescribed period falling before the day (or the first of the days) on which the collection is to take place, except as provided in subsection (4).3The application must—aspecify the date or dates in respect of which it is desired that the permit, if issued, should have effect (which, in the case of two or more dates, must not span a period of more than 12 months);bbe accompanied by a copy of the public collections certificate in force under section 52 in respect of the proposed collection; andccontain such information as may be prescribed.4Where an application (“the certificate application”) has been made in accordance with section 51 for a public collections certificate in respect of the collection and either—athe certificate application has not been determined by the end of the period mentioned in subsection (2) above, orbthe certificate application has been determined by the issue of such a certificate but at a time when there is insufficient time remaining for the application mentioned in subsection (2) (“the permit application”) to be made by the end of that period,the permit application must be made as early as practicable before the day (or the first of the days) on which the collection is to take place.5In this section “exempt collection” means a collection in a public place which is an exempt collection by virtue of section 50.Determination of applications and issue of permits591On receiving an application made in accordance with section 58 for a permit in respect of a collection in a public place, a local authority must determine the application within the prescribed period by either—aissuing a permit in respect of the collection, orbrefusing the application on the ground specified in section 60(1).2Where a local authority issue such a permit, it shall (subject to section 61) have effect in respect of the date or dates specified in the application in accordance with section 58(3)(a).3At the time of issuing a permit under this section, a local authority may attach to it such conditions within paragraphs (a) to (d) below as they think fit, having regard to the local circumstances of the collection—aconditions specifying the day of the week, date, time or frequency of the collection;bconditions specifying the locality or localities within their area in which the collection may be conducted;cconditions regulating the manner in which the collection is to be conducted;dsuch other conditions as may be prescribed for the purposes of this subsection.4A local authority must secure that the terms of any conditions attached under subsection (3) are consistent with the provisions of any regulations under section 63 (whether or not prescribing conditions for the purposes of that subsection).5Where a local authority—arefuse to issue a permit, orbattach any condition to it,they must serve on the applicant written notice of their decision and the reasons for their decision.6That notice must also state the right of appeal conferred by section 62(2) and the time within which such an appeal must be brought.Refusal of permits601The only ground on which a local authority may refuse an application for a permit to conduct a collection in a public place is that it appears to them that the collection would cause undue inconvenience to members of the public by reason of—athe day or the week or date on or in which,bthe time at which,cthe frequency with which, ordthe locality or localities in which,it is proposed to be conducted.2In making a decision under subsection (1), a local authority may have regard to the fact (where it is the case) that the collection is proposed to be conducted—awholly or partly in a locality in which another collection in a public place is already authorised to be conducted under this Chapter, andbon a day on which that other collection is already so authorised, or on the day falling immediately before, or immediately after, any such day.3A local authority must not, however, have regard to the matters mentioned in subsection (2) if it appears to them—athat the proposed collection would be conducted only in one location, which is on land to which members of the public would have access only—iby virtue of the express or implied permission of the occupier of the land, oriiby virtue of any enactment, andbthat the occupier of the land consents to that collection being conducted there;and for this purpose “the occupier”, in relation to unoccupied land, means the person entitled to occupy it.4In this section a reference to a collection in a public place authorised under this Chapter is a reference to a collection in a public place that—ais conducted in accordance with section 48, orbis an exempt collection by virtue of section 50.Withdrawal or variation etc. of permits611Where subsection (2), (3) or (4) applies, a local authority who have issued a permit under section 59 may—awithdraw the permit,battach any condition (or further condition) to the permit, orcvary any existing condition of the permit.2This subsection applies where the local authority—ahave reason to believe that there has been a change in the circumstances which prevailed at the time when they issued the permit, andbare of the opinion that, if the application for the permit had been made in the new circumstances, they would not have issued the permit or would have issued it subject to different or additional conditions.3This subsection applies where the local authority have reason to believe that any information provided to them by the holder of a permit (or, where there is more than one holder, by any of them) for the purposes of the application for the permit was false or misleading in a material particular.4This subsection applies where the local authority have reason to believe that there has been or is likely to be a breach of any condition of a permit issued by them, or that a breach of such a condition is continuing.5Any condition imposed at any time by a local authority under subsection (1) (whether by attaching a new condition to the permit or by varying an existing condition) must be one that it would be appropriate for the authority to attach to the permit under section 59(3) if the holder was applying for it in the circumstances prevailing at that time.6The exercise by a local authority of the power conferred by paragraph (b) or (c) of subsection (1) on one occasion does not prevent them from exercising any of the powers conferred by that subsection on a subsequent occasion; and on any subsequent occasion the reference in subsection (2)(a) to the time when the local authority issued the permit is a reference to the time when they last exercised any of those powers.7Where under this section a local authority—awithdraw a permit,battach a condition to a permit, orcvary an existing condition of a permit,they must serve on the holder written notice of their decision and the reasons for their decision.8That notice must also state the right of appeal conferred by section 62(3) and the time within which such an appeal must be brought.9Where a local authority withdraw a permit under this section, they must send a copy of their decision and the reasons for it to the Commission.10Where a local authority under this section withdraw a permit, attach any condition to a permit, or vary an existing condition of a permit, the permit shall continue to have effect as if it had not been withdrawn or (as the case may be) as if the condition had not been attached or varied—auntil the time for bringing an appeal under section 62(3) has expired, orbif such an appeal is duly brought, until the determination or abandonment of the appeal.Appeals against decisions of local authority621A person who, in relation to a public charitable collection, has duly notified a local authority of the matters mentioned in section 50(3) may appeal to a magistrates' court against a decision of the local authority under section 50(4)—athat the collection is not a local, short-term collection, orbthat the promoters or any of them has breached any such provision, or been convicted of any such offence, as is mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection.2A person who has duly applied to a local authority for a permit to conduct a collection in a public place in the authority's area may appeal to a magistrates' court against a decision of the authority under section 59—ato refuse to issue a permit, orbto attach any condition to it.3A person to whom a permit has been issued may appeal to a magistrates' court against a decision of the local authority under section 61—ato withdraw the permit,bto attach a condition to the permit, orcto vary an existing condition of the permit.4An appeal under subsection (1), (2) or (3) shall be by way of complaint for an order, and the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (c. 43) shall apply to the proceedings.5Any such appeal shall be brought within 14 days of the date of service on the person in question of the relevant notice under section 50(4), section 59(5) or (as the case may be) section 61(7); and for the purposes of this section an appeal shall be taken to be brought when the complaint is made.6An appeal against the decision of a magistrates' court on an appeal under subsection (1), (2) or (3) may be brought to the Crown Court.7On an appeal to a magistrates' court or the Crown Court under this section, the court may confirm, vary or reverse the local authority's decision and generally give such directions as it thinks fit, having regard to the provisions of this Chapter and of any regulations under section 63.8On an appeal against a decision of a local authority under section 50(4), directions under subsection (7) may include a
