that may be demanded as a condition of giving consent.

(a)that the person making the application has standing to apply (see subsection (3) of that section), and

(3) The registrar may accept the statement of compliance as sufficient evidence of those matters.
1027.—(1) The registrar must give notice to the applicant of the decision on an application under section 1024 (application for administrative restoration to the register).
(2) If the decision is that the LLP should be restored to the register, the restoration takes effect as from the date that notice is sent.

(b)the LLP's registered number, and
(c)the date as from which the restoration of the LLP to the register takes effect.
1028.—(1) The general effect of administrative restoration to the register is that the LLP is deemed to have continued in existence as if it had not been dissolved or struck off the register.
(2) The LLP is not liable to a penalty under section 453 M1 or any corresponding earlier provision (civil penalty for failure to deliver accounts) for a financial year in relation to which the period for filing accounts and reports ended—
