Without prejudice to regulation 4(2), where the National Assembly has suspended a person’s registration, it must, whether or not a written request has been made under paragraph (2), lift the suspension at any time if it no longer has reasonable cause to believe that the grounds for suspension apply.

A person whose registration has been suspended under these Regulations may, at any time, make a written request to the appropriate office of the National Assembly that the suspension be lifted.

Where the National Assembly makes a decision to lift or to refuse to lift the suspension of a person’s registration, it must immediately and in accordance with regulation 6, send a notice of the decision to the registered person.

Where the National Assembly decides not to lift the suspension of a person’s registration, the notice under paragraph (3) must include the reasons for the decision and details of the registered person’s right of appeal against the decision.

Any decision by the National Assembly to lift a suspension takes effect as from a specified date which must be included in the written notice referred to in paragraph (3).
