This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Customer and Product Data Bill

Administrative matters - Appeals

111: Appeals against accreditation decisions

You could also call this:

“How you can question decisions about your accreditation”

The proposed law would allow you to challenge certain decisions made by the chief executive about accreditation. If you disagree with their choice, you could take your case to the High Court. You might do this if the chief executive:

  • Says no to giving you accreditation
  • Refuses to renew your accreditation when it expires
  • Puts special rules or conditions on your accreditation
  • Doesn’t agree to change your accreditation when you ask
  • Stops your accreditation for a while or takes it away completely

These rules would be part of a section called ‘Appeals against accreditation decisions’ in the Customer and Product Data Bill. This bill is suggesting changes to how things are done now, but it’s not the law yet.
