83: Effect of interim order

You could also call this:

“What happens when you get temporary permission to give immigration advice”

If you’re allowed to give immigration advice because of an interim order, you’re treated as if you have a licence. The Registrar will put your name on the register of licensed advisers.

If you’re appealing because you were refused a licence, the interim order is like getting the licence you asked for. It starts from the day of the order and has any rules the court says.

The court will tell the Registrar about the order so they can update the register.

If you have an interim order, you need to pay fees for your licence. You also need to apply to renew your licence before it runs out, just like section 24 says.

If you don’t apply to renew your licence in time, the interim order stops working. The Registrar will then mark your licence as expired in the register, following section 33.

Part 2 Miscellaneous provisions
Appeals against decisions of Registrar and Tribunal

83Effect of interim order

  1. If an interim order is made allowing the appellant to engage in providing immigration advice,—

  2. that person is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as if they were licensed; and
    1. the Registrar must, as appropriate, enter, retain, or restore the person's name on the register.

      1. If an interim order applies to a person who is appealing against a decision of the Registrar to refuse to license the person as an immigration adviser, the interim order must be treated as a licence of the type for which the person applied that was granted on the date of the interim order and that is subject to any conditions imposed by the court in the interim order.

      2. To enable the Registrar to fulfil the duties imposed by this section, the Registrar of the court in which the interim order is made must send a copy of the order to the Registrar as soon as practicable.

      3. A person to whom an interim order applies—

      4. is liable to pay any fees or levies in respect of their licence under regulations made under this Act; and
        1. must, on or before the date on which the licence expires, apply for a renewal of their licence in accordance with section 24.

          1. If a person to whom subsection (3)(b) applies fails to apply to renew their licence on or before the date on which it would otherwise expire, the interim order is deemed to be rescinded and the Registrar must record the expiry of the licence in the register in accordance with section 33.
