Regulation 25B RefundsF1

As soon as reasonably practicable after a cessation has taken effect in accordance with regulation 9 or 10, the Secretary of State shall repay to the person or council concerned the amount (if any) determined in accordance with the formula A–B, where—

• “A” is the amount held by the Secretary of State immediately before the cessation on account of any charge that might have become payable by that person or council in connection with the carrying out of examinations; and

• “B” is the amount payable to the Secretary of State in accordance with regulation 25A(6).

On receipt of any unused forms for test certificates sent to him in accordance with regulation 11(1) or (2), the Secretary of State shall repay to the person or council concerned, an amount equal to the amount paid to the Secretary of State by that person or council for the supply of those forms.

Where unissued and cancelled forms for test certificates are returned to the Secretary of State because they have been spoilt or defaced, the Secretary of State may make a refund to the person or council concerned of such amount as he considers appropriate.
