Regulation 17 Relevant date
Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3) and regulation 20, any amount required to be determined by the funding authority under this Part shall be determined on the information available to them on the relevant date.
In paragraph (1), the relevant date means 5th April 1994 or, for the purposes of determining the amount of maintenance grant payable in respect of any school for the financial year in question, such other date as the funding authority may determine.
The funding authority may, in any case where they consider it appropriate to do so, redetermine the relevant date.
Where—
the funding authority determine in accordance with paragraph (2) that, in respect of any school for the financial year in question, the relevant date should be a date other than 5th April 1994, or
they redetermine the relevant date in accordance with paragraph (3),
they shall notify the governing body of the school and the local education authority in writing of that fact.
Where there is not available to the funding authority on the relevant date sufficient information as will, in their opinion, allow them to determine any amount referred in paragraph (1) they may determine the amount of maintenance grant payable in respect of the school on such basis as appears to them to be fair and reasonable having regard to the information available to them on the relevant date.
The funding authority shall not take into account any information made available to them after the relevant date (but before the date of their determination) for the purposes of determining the amount of maintenance grant payable in respect of a school for the financial year in question.
References in these Regulations to the relevant date are references to the date referred to in paragraph (2) unless the relevant date has been redetermined in accordance with paragraph (3) in which case it is a reference to that date as redetermined.
