## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Immigration (Notices) Regulations 2003 (‘The 2003 Regulations’).
The 2003 Regulations govern the circumstances in which a person or his representative must be notified of an appealable decision under Part 5 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (‘The 2002 Act’) or under the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 (SI 2006/1003). They also govern the information that the notice of decision must contain.
Regulation 4 of the 2003 Regulations specifies the circumstances in which a written notice of decision must be provided. These regulations amend regulation 4 so that a notice of decision must be given where a right of appeal arises under section 83A(2) of the 2002 Act.
Regulation 5(1)(b) of the 2003 Regulations provides that where the notice relates to an immigration decision specified in section 82(2)(a), (g), (h), (i), or (j) of the 2002 Act it must state the country or territory to which it is proposed to remove the affected party. These Regulations amend regulation 5(1)(b) so that it includes reference to an immigration decision as defined in section 82(2)(ia) of the 2002 Act. The Regulations also amend regulation 5(1)(b) so that where the decision-maker feels that the affected party may be removable to more than one country or territory any such countries or territories may be specified in the notice of decision.
