# The Commissioner for Older People in Wales Regulations 2007, Regulation 9: Circumstances in which an examination may be made


The Commissioner may only examine the case of a particular person who is or has been an older person in Wales where —
(a) a representation is made to the Commissioner by the person concerned, or if the person concerned is unable for any reason to make such a representation, where a representation is made to the Commissioner on behalf of the person concerned by a person who appears to the Commissioner to be an appropriate person to act on behalf of the person concerned;
(b) the Commissioner considers that the representation raises a question of principle which has a more general application or relevance to the interests of older people in Wales than in the particular case concerned; and
(c) the Commissioner has taken into account whether the issues involved in the case have been or are being formally considered in any way by other persons and if they have not or are not whether, in the Commissioner’s opinion, they are more suitable for consideration by other persons.
