120.—(1) The Board may validate an action for the purposes of Article 119(9) only if it is satisfied that to do so is consistent with the objective of ensuring that the scheme’s protected liabilities do not exceed its assets or, if they do exceed its assets, that the excess is kept to a minimum.

(d)any other person who appears to the Board to be directly affected by the determination.
(3) A notice under paragraph (2) must contain a statement of the Board’s reasons for the determination.
(4) The validation of an action does not take effect—
(a)until—
(i)the Board has issued a notice under paragraph (2) relating to the determination, and
(ii)the period within which the issue of that notice may be reviewed by virtue of Chapter 6 has expired, and
(b)if the issue of the notice is so reviewed, until—
(i)the review and any reconsideration,
(ii)any reference to the PPF Ombudsman in respect of the issue of the notice, and
