The Quality Partnership Schemes (Wales) Regulations 2009

Definition of “relevant operator” following modification of proposed scheme

6.—(1) This regulation applies where an authority or authorities, following consultation under section 115 of the Act, make a scheme under section 116(1) of the Act with modifications and those modifications have the effect described in paragraph (2).

(2) The effect is that an operator who did not, on the day referred to in regulation 5(2), satisfy the definition of a relevant operator in that paragraph would have satisfied that definition if the proposed scheme referred to in the notice given under section 115(1) of the Act had instead been the scheme as modified.

(3) Where this regulation applies the lead authority must, as soon as reasonably practicable, serve notice on any operator to whom paragraph (2) may apply informing that operator of the modifications to the proposed scheme.

(4) Regulations 8 to 15 apply to any operator on whom notice is required to have been served in accordance with paragraph (3) as if the reference in regulation 8(1) to the publication of a notice under section 115(1) of the Act was a reference to the service of a notice under paragraph (3) of this regulation.
