"What happens to your application if it's not finished when the new rules start?"

Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

You have an application that is not finished when this section starts. This application is for registration, a licence, or a limited certificate under the old Act. You can withdraw your application and make a new one under this Act. If you do not withdraw your application, it will be considered as if this Act did not exist. When a decision is made on your application, it will be like the decision was made before this section started. This means any registration, licence, or certificate you get will be like you got it before this section started. Some words in this section have special meanings. The Board is the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board. The Registrar is the Registrar of Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers. The secretary has the same meaning as in the old Act.
