Regulation 9 Transitional and saving provisionsI1

Paragraph (2) applies in respect of any licence application that was received by the Secretary of State before 6th April 2014 but which was not determined by the Secretary of State before that date.

The 2011 Regulations continue to have effect in relation to the application, subject to the exception in paragraph (3) and the modification in paragraph (4).

Where the application falls within the description in Band 1 or Band 2 in the Schedule to the 2011 Regulations and the amount of the fee, if it were determined in accordance with the 2011 Regulations, would be greater than the amount of the fee if it were determined in accordance with these Regulations, the fee is to be determined in accordance with these Regulations.

The fee in respect of an application falling within the description in Band 3 in the Schedule to the 2011 Regulations is to be determined as if, for “£80 per hour or part thereof”, there were substituted “£80 per hour or part thereof worked before 6th April 2014 and £94 per hour or part thereof worked on or after that date”.

For the purposes of paragraph (1), an application is not received until an applicant has supplied such information or produced such articles as in the opinion of the Secretary of State may be necessary or expedient to enable the Secretary of State to determine the application.
