Section 44: Provision of information etc. by applicants
76.Section 44 deals with the information applicants under the 1974 Act may be required to provide in connection with their application. OFT may require additional information or documents that are relevant to the application, before the application is determined. Where an applicant has made an application to OFT, but it has not been determined, and OFT has published a general notice specifying any additional information required to be provided in connection with future applications then the applicant whose application is pending must provide OFT with that additional information.
77.If any information or document provided by an applicant in relation to his application is superseded or otherwise affected by any change in circumstances, or if any errors come to light during the period from when the application was made but before its determination, the applicant must notify OFT within 28 days of the information or document being superseded, the change in circumstances occurring, or the applicant becoming aware of the error or omission. This does not apply to clerical errors that do not affect the substance of the document, or anything that the applicant must notify OFT about under section 36 (duty to notify changes).
