Paragraph 12 Interim measures pending a direction taking effectF1
Sub-paragraph (2) applies where, under paragraph 7, the Statutory Committee gives—
a direction to strike the name of a registered person off the register; or
a direction for suspension.
If the Statutory Committee is satisfied that to do so is necessary for the protection of members of the public or is otherwise in the public interest or in the interests of the registered person, it may order that the entry of the registered person who is the subject of the direction be suspended forthwith, pending the coming into force of the direction.
Sub-paragraph (4) applies where the Statutory Committee gives a direction for conditional entry under paragraph 7.
If the Statutory Committee is satisfied that to do so is necessary for the protection of members of the public or is otherwise in the public interest or in the interests of the registered person, it may order that the entry of the registered person who is the subject of the direction be conditional upon that person complying, pending the coming into force of the direction, with such requirements specified in the order as the Statutory Committee thinks fit to impose.
Where the Statutory Committee makes an order under sub-paragraph (2) or (4), the registrar must send to the registered person who is the subject of the order a statement in writing giving that registered person notice of the contents of the order and the right of appeal under sub-paragraph (6).
A registered person who is aggrieved by a decision of the Statutory Committee to make an order under this paragraph may appeal against that decision to the High Court who may—
dismiss the appeal;
in the case of an order under sub-paragraph (2), terminate the suspension; and
in the case of an order under sub-paragraph (4), revoke the order or remove or vary any condition imposed by the order,
and the decision of the High Court on any application under this paragraph is final.
