Regulation 4 Notice of appealable decisions and actions

Subject to the provisions of this regulation and to regulation 6, the decision-maker must give written notice to a person (the “requisite person”) of any decision or action taken in respect of him which is appealable.

If the notice is given to the representative of the requisite person, it is to be taken to have been given to the requisite person.

Where the notice is given as required by paragraph (1) of a decision to refuse leave to a person to enter the United Kingdom, it is not necessary in addition for notice to be given of the decision that he requires leave unless he claims or has claimed that leave is not required.

No notice of decision is required to be given under paragraph (1) by reason only of the fact that the decision could be appealed under section 65 of the 1999 Act or section 2A of the 1997 Act if the person in question were to make an allegation that an authority had acted in breach of his human rights in taking it; but such notice must be given upon such allegation being made.

In paragraph (4), “authority” has the meaning given to it by section 65(7) of the 1999 Act.
