C116F1Revision of decisions

1

Any decision F2to which subsection (1A) applies may be revised by the F5Commission—

a

either within the prescribed period or in prescribed cases or circumstances; and

b

either on an application made for the purpose or on F6its own initiative;

and regulations may prescribe the procedure by which a decision of the F5Commission may be so revised.

a decision of F9the First-tier Tribunal on a referral under section 28D(1)(b).

1B

Where the F5Commission revises a decision under section 12(1)—

a

F7it may (if appropriate) do so as if F7it were revising a decision under section 11; and

b

if F7it does that, F6its decision as revised is to be treated as one under section 11 instead of section 12(1) (and, in particular, is to be so treated for the purposes of an appeal against it under section 20).

2

In making a decision under subsection (1), the F5Commission need not consider any issue that is not raised by the application or, as the case may be, did not cause F8it to act on F6its own initiative.

Subject to subsections (4) and (5) and section 28ZC, a revision under this section shall take effect as from the date on which the original decision took (or was to take) effect.

4

Regulations may provide that, in prescribed cases or circumstances, a revision under this section shall take effect as from such other date as may be prescribed.

5

Where a decision is revised under this section, for the purpose of any rule as to the time allowed for bringing an appeal, the decision shall be regarded as made on the date on which it is so revised.

6

Except in prescribed circumstances, an appeal against a decision of the F5Commission shall lapse if the decision is revised under this section before the appeal is determined.
