Regulation 2 Adjudicator to which matters are to be referred
Where under any provision of the Act or regulations made under the Act a matter is referred to “the adjudicator”, the chief adjudicator shall, subject to paragraph (2), allocate the referral to a particular adjudicator.
A referral shall not be allocated to a particular adjudicator if the referral relates to the area of a local education authority–
by whom, or by whose predecessor authority (if any), the particular adjudicator in question has been employed at any time during the period of ten years ending with the date on which the referral was made; or
in which the particular adjudicator in question resides.
In this regulation “the chief adjudicator” means a person, appointed under section 26 of the Act to act as an adjudicator, designated by the Secretary of State as such.
In paragraph (2) a local education authority (“LEA A”) is the predecessor of another local education authority (“LEA B”) if as a result of a structural change or boundary change (within the meaning of section 14 of the Local Government Act 1992f1) effected by an order under section 17 of that Act, LEA A ceases to exercise functions in relation to any area and LEA B exercises functions in relation to that area.
