Regulation 5 Cessation of disqualificationF1

Subject to paragraph (2) where a person is disqualified under regulation 4(1)(b) (dismissed employees) that person may, after the expiry of a period of not less than two years, apply in writing to the Regional Board to remove the disqualification and the Regional Board may direct that the disqualification shall cease.

Where the Regional Board refuses an application to remove a disqualification no further application may be made by that person until the expiration of two years from the date of the application.

Where a person is disqualified under regulation 4(1)(h) (certain Chairs, chairmen, members and non-executive directors whose appointments have been terminated) the disqualification shall cease on the expiry of a period of two years or such longer period as the Regional Board specifies when terminating the period of office but the Regional Board may on application being made to it by that person reduce the period of disqualification.
