# The National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) Regulations 2013, Regulation 23: Reviews of stop orders


(1) The First-tier Tribunal may review a stop order at the request of the supplier upon which the order has been imposed, and on such a review may confirm the order or revoke it.
(2) Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), the supplier may not request a review of a stop order before the end of the period of two years beginning with the date—
(a) on which the stop order was imposed; or
(b) of the First-tier Tribunal's decision on the last such review, whichever is the later.
(3) If, on making a decision to impose or confirm a stop order, the First-tier Tribunal is of the opinion that there is no realistic prospect of a review or a further review as the case may be, being successful if held within the period specified in paragraph (2), the reference to “two years” shall be a reference—
(a) to five years, or
(b) to such shorter period, being more than two years, as the First-tier Tribunal may determine.
(4) If, on a review, the First-tier Tribunal is of the opinion that there is a realistic prospect of a further review being successful if held within a shorter period than that specified in paragraph (2), the reference to “two years” shall be a reference to “one year”.
