Regulation 8 Evidence in registration appeals proceedingsI1

A finding of fact by a registration appeals panel must be made on the balance of probabilities.

In registration appeals proceedings evidence is not admissible unless—

A certificate signed by a competent officer of a court of any jurisdiction that a person has been convicted of a criminal offence or, in Scotland, an extract conviction, is conclusive evidence of the offence.

A certificate that a person is included in a barred list^f1 (for the purposes of section 117(1)(c) of the Act), issued by the person responsible for maintaining the list, is conclusive evidence of that fact.

A certificate issued by a relevant body^f2 (for the purposes of section 117(1)(d) of the Act) that it has determined that a person’s fitness to practise is impaired is conclusive evidence of that determination.
