Section 19: Procedure for refusal, variation or revocation of licence

133.Section 19 makes a number of small amendments to the procedures in the 1990 Act for notifying licensing decisions to interested parties. The HFEA will provide the applicant with notice of its proposed decision and the reasons for the decision. Once a person has been given notice they will then have the right to make representations about the proposed decision. If the HFEA proceeds with the decision, then section 20 (inserted by section 21 of the Act) provides that the applicant may apply for reconsideration of the decision.
