Regulation 14 Notification of decision

As soon as practicable after determining whether or not to make a direction the directing authority must notify its decision to any person who made representations to it in relation to the direction; but nothing in this paragraph requires or permits the directing authority to give reasons for its decision, where the giving of reasons would result in the public disclosure of closed evidence.

Where a direction is given the directing authority must, at the same time as notifying its decision in accordance with paragraph (1), send a copy of the direction to the appointed representative and the person who requested the direction.
