CHAPTER 3 U.K. PROCEDURE AND EFFECTIVE DATE

Procedure for making an application for a revision U.K.

20.—(1) The Secretary of State may treat an application for a supersession under section 10 of the 1998 Act as an application for a revision under section 9 of that Act.

(2) The following paragraph applies where the Secretary of State, in order to consider all the issues raised by the application, requires further evidence or information from a person who has applied for a revision (“the applicant”).

(3) The Secretary of State must notify the applicant that—

(a) the further evidence or information specified in the notification is required;

(b) if the applicant provides the relevant evidence or information within one month of the date of notification or such longer period as the Secretary of State may allow, the decision may be revised taking such evidence or information into account; and

(c) if the applicant does not provide such evidence or information within that period, the decision may be revised using such evidence or information as was submitted with the application for revision.

Effective date of a revision U.K.

21.  Where, on a revision under section 9 of the 1998 Act, the Secretary of State decides that the date from which the decision under section 8 or 10 of that Act (“ the original decision”) took effect was wrong, the revision takes effect from the date from which the original decision would have taken effect had the error not been made.
