Section 77: Information to be given with notices and directions and effect pending review
247.When giving a governing body a notice or direction listed in section 75(1), the Commission must include a date on which the notice or direction will take effect (subsection (1)). At the same time, the Commission must also give the governing body a statement setting out the reasons for the notice or direction being given, information regarding the right to review (see sections 78 and 79) and the period within which an application for review may be made (subsection (2)).
248.A notice or direction to which this section applies may not come into effect while a review process is ongoing nor during the period within which the governing body affected could apply for a review under section 78, unless the governing body concerned notifies the Commission that it does not intend to apply for a review (subsections (3) and (4)).
249.As a result, the notice or direction may be unable to come into effect on the date specified by the Commission under subsection (1). In this case, subject to the outcome of any review, the Commission must determine a new date on which the notice or direction will take effect (subsections (5) and (6)).
