Regulation 19 Determinations by the WSRA
Where a relevant undertaker has withdrawn from the non-household retail market, the WSRA may determine—
whether premises in the retail exit area are transferred premises for the purpose of these Regulations;
whether a person who was a customer of the relevant undertaker immediately before the exit date is a transferred customer for the purpose of these Regulations.
The WSRA may make a determination under paragraph (1) only on the application of—
a relevant undertaker,
a water supply licensee or sewerage licensee, or
the owner or occupier of the premises.
The WSRA may require a relevant undertaker, a water supply licensee or a sewerage licensee to provide information or other assistance for the purpose of enabling the WSRA to make a determination in accordance with paragraph (1).
A requirement imposed under paragraph (3)is enforceable under section 18 of the 1991 Act.
Section 195A of the 1991 Act (reasons for decisions) applies as if the making of a determination under paragraph (1) were included in the list of decisions in subsection (1) of that section.
