Electricity Act 1992

Restrictions on electrical work - Board may cancel application of exemption

81: Board may cancel application of exemption to any person

You could also call this:

“The board can take away your special permission after hearing your side”

The Board can stop an exemption from applying to you. They need to tell you in writing and give a date when the exemption will stop.

If the Board wants to stop your exemption, they must first tell you why they might do this. They also need to give you a fair chance to explain your side. You can write to them or speak to them yourself, or have someone else speak for you.

The Board can only stop the exemption after they have done these things. Once they decide to stop it, the exemption will no longer apply to you from the date they tell you in their notice.
