(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 3 of the Estate Agents Act 1979 confers power on the Director General of Fair Trading to make orders prohibiting unfit persons from doing estate agency work. This power may not, however, be exercised in relation to any person unless certain circumstances have arisen. One circumstance in which the power may be exercised is where the Director is satisfied that a person has been convicted of one of certain offences. These offences include any offence involving fraud or other dishonesty or violence, offences under certain sections of the 1979 Act itself and any other offence that has been specified for the purposes of section 3 by the Secretary of State.
Article 2 and the Schedule to this Order specify those other offences.
