Paragraph 12 Completion certificatesI1

Where, after service of a stop notice, the regulator is satisfied that the person has taken the steps specified in the notice, the regulator must issue a certificate to that effect (“a completion certificate”).

The stop notice ceases to have effect on the issue of a completion certificate.

The person on whom the stop notice is served may at any time apply for a completion certificate.

The regulator must make a decision as to whether to issue a completion certificate, and give written notice of the decision to the applicant, within 14 days of such an application.
