357D: Decision on objections made under sections 357 to 357B

You could also call this:

"What happens when you object to a decision under the law"

When you make an objection under sections 357 to 357B, the person or body you make it to can decide to dismiss it, uphold it in whole or in part, or remit an additional charge. They can remit the whole or part of the charge if your objection is about an additional charge under section 36(5). If your objection is under section 357B(a), they can also remit the charge. You will get a written notice of their decision within 15 working days, and it will include the reasons for their decision. If you objected under section 357A(1)(e) and the consent authority upholds your objection, their decision will replace the earlier decision that you objected to.
