# Commons Act 2006, Section 37: Variation and revocation of establishment orders


(1) The appropriate national authority may by order under section 26 revoke a previous order under that section establishing a commons council only if it is satisfied that—
(a) the council has ceased to operate;
(b) the council is failing to discharge its functions in an effective manner; or
(c) the council is, in discharging its functions, failing to have sufficient regard to the public interest as required by section 31.
(2) An order under section 26 revoking a previous order under that section may include—
(a) provision for the transfer of rights, property and liabilities of the commons council;
(b) provision amending any enactment previously amended under section 36 in relation to the council.
(3) Section 27 applies to an order under section 26 varying or revoking a previous order under that section as it applies to an order under that section establishing a commons council (but as if the references in section 27 to land specified in the order were to land affected by the variation or revocation).
