3
P may require a hearing of the review.

Where the registration officer is of the opinion that the safety test is no longer satisfied in respect of P, that officer must, as that officer considers appropriate, send to P a notice which—

states the reason for the review and requires P to provide such further information as might be specified in the notice; or

Where—
a
the registration officer sends to P a notice in the form specified in paragraph (4)(a); and
b
P does not, within 14 days beginning with the date of that notice, notify the registration officer that P requires the review to be heard,
the registration officer may determine without a hearing that the safety test is no longer satisfied in respect of P.

Where—
a
the registration officer sends to P a notice in the form specified in paragraph (4)(b); and
b
P does not respond to the registration officer’s satisfaction, or at all, within 28 days beginning with the date of that notice,
the registration officer may send a further notice to P which states that he is of the opinion that the safety test is no longer satisfied in respect of P, the grounds for his opinion and that P may require a hearing of the review by notifying the registration officer within 14 days beginning with the date of the notice.

the registration officer may determine without a hearing that the safety test is no longer satisfied in respect of P.

Where the registration officer determines that a hearing of the review should be conducted, the notice given under paragraph (4)(c) must also state the time and place at which that officer proposes to hear the review.
9
Paragraphs (2) to (5) of regulation 38 apply to the hearing of a review under this regulation as they apply to the hearing of a review under regulations 36 to 38 (reading references to the “subject of the review” as references to “P”).

The registration officer may determine that the safety test is no longer satisfied in respect of P, despite the failure of P (or any other person entitled to appear and be heard) to attend.
11
In making a determination under paragraph (5), (7) or (10), the registration officer must take into account any written representations made to that officer by P and may take into account the written representations of any other person who appears to that officer to be interested.
