Substitution of regulation 6A (appeals in relation to Great Britain)
8. For regulation 6A substitute—

“Appeals in relation to Great Britain
6A. (1) A person who is aggrieved by a decision of the competent authority in relation to Great Britain—
(a) not to approve a person to provide training courses under regulation 6(6)(a);
(b) not to approve a training course which a person wishes to provide under regulation 6(6)(b);
(c) to withdraw or suspend an approval under regulation 6(11);
(d) not to approve a training course under regulation 6(13),
may appeal to the First-tier Tribunal.
(2) On the appeal, the Tribunal may make such order for the grant or refusal of an approval for the person or course or for the withdrawal, suspension or continuation of an approval, as the case may be, as it thinks fit.
(3) An order on an appeal under paragraph (1)(a) or (c) may direct that an application by the appellant for an approval to provide training courses under regulation 6(6)(a) shall not be entertained before the expiration of such period, not exceeding four years beginning with the day on which the order is made, as may be specified in the order.
(4) If the Tribunal considers that any evidence adduced on an appeal has not been adduced to the competent authority before it gave the decision to which the appeal relates, the Tribunal may, instead of making the order under paragraph (2), remit the matter to the competent authority for it to reconsider the decision.
(5) In this regulation, “training course” means a periodic training course, a national periodic training course or a national return to driving course.”.
