124: Notice of decision and reasons for decision

You could also call this:

“Regulator must notify you and publish their decision on your enforceable undertaking”

When you try to make an enforceable undertaking, the regulator must tell you in writing if they accept or reject it. They have to explain why they made that decision. This means you’ll get a letter or email that says whether your undertaking was accepted or not, and the reasons behind that choice.

If the regulator decides to accept your enforceable undertaking, they must also share this information with everyone. They do this by putting a notice on their website. This notice will say that they accepted your undertaking and explain why they did so. This way, anyone can see what decisions the regulator is making and why.
