8.—(1) A person whose registration has been suspended under these Regulations may appeal to the Tribunal against—

(b)direct that the suspension shall cease to have effect

and, for the avoidance of doubt, in any case in which the Tribunal exercises its power under (a) it may also exercise its power under (b) if at the time of making its determination it is satisfied that the conditions for suspension are no longer met.

(3) If the suspension of a person’s registration against which an appeal has been made under paragraph (1) is no longer in effect, the Tribunal:

(a)must strike out the appeal; and
