Courts and Legal Services Act 1990

Prospective

6 (1) The revocation of any approval given under this Schedule shall be by order (“a revoking order") made by the Lord Chancellor.

(2) A revoking order may only be made if—

(a) the approved body has made a written request to the Lord Chancellor asking for it to be made;

(b) the approved 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 approved body, its application would have failed.

(3) A revoking order may make such transitional and incidental provision as the Lord Chancellor considers necessary or expedient.

(4) Where a revoking order is made—

(a) the exemption 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; and

(b) the Lord Chancellor shall—

(i) give the body with respect to whom the order is made written notice of the making of the order;

(ii) take such steps as are reasonably practicable to bring the making of the order to the attention of members of that body; and

(iii) 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.
