Refusal of registration—process
257 Refusal of registration—process
If the regulator proposes to refuse to grant a registration, the regulator must give the applicant a written notice—
informing the applicant of the reasons for the proposed refusal; and
advising the applicant that the applicant may, by a stated date (being not less than 28 days after giving the notice), make a submission to the regulator in relation to the proposed refusal.
After the date stated in a notice under subsection (1), the regulator must—
if the applicant has made a submission in relation to the proposed refusal to grant the registration—consider that submission; and
whether or not the applicant has made a submission—decide whether to grant or refuse to grant the registration; and
within 14 days after making that decision, give the applicant written notice of the decision, including the reasons for the decision.
Note A refusal to grant a registration is a reviewable decision (see s 676).
