Article 15 Interim directions restricting or prohibiting provision of immigration advice or immigration services

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

The Commissioner may apply for a direction under paragraph 9(3) of Schedule 5 (restricting or prohibiting the provision of immigration advice or immigration services while the Tribunal deals with a charge) by sending to the Tribunal written notice of the application; and this written notice may—

(a)

be combined with the written notice of charge to which the direction sought relates, or

(b)

be sent after the notice of charge and refer to that notice

and in either case shall state the grounds of the application.

(2)

As soon as practicable after receiving a notice of application under paragraph (1), the Tribunal shall send an acknowledgement to the Commissioner and a copy of the notice of application to the person charged.

(3)

Before deciding any application under this rule, the Tribunal shall either invite representations in writing from the person charged or hold a hearing at which all parties may be heard.
