Where the F3Commission revises a decision under section 12(1)—

F8it may (if appropriate) do so as if F8it were revising a decision under section 11; and

if F8it does that, F4its 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).

In making a decision under subsection (1), the F3Commission need not consider any issue that is not raised by the application or, as the case may be, did not cause F9it to act on F4its own initiative.

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 F3Commission shall lapse if the decision is revised under this section before the appeal is determined.
