This section applies if—

a

b

the authority notifies the Tribunal that they have determined that they will not, or will no longer, oppose the appeal.

2

The appeal is to be treated as having been determined in favour of the appellant.

3

If an appeal is treated as determined in favour of the appellant as a result of subsection (2), the Tribunal is not required to make any order.

4

Before the end of the prescribed period, the authority must—

a

in the case of an appeal under section 325, make a statement under section 324 of the child’s educational needs,

b

6

Regulations under this section, so far as they relate to Wales, require the agreement of the National Assembly for Wales.
