1
A person providing a service registered under this Chapter may apply to SCSWIS—
a
for the variation or removal of any condition for the time being in force, or for the addition of a condition, in relation to the registration, or
b
for cancellation of the registration.
2
But no such application is competent where—
a
SCSWIS has given the person notice under section 71(3) of its proposal to cancel the registration (unless SCSWIS has decided not to take that step), or
b
SCSWIS has given the person notice under section 73(3) of its decision to cancel the registration and—
i
the time within which an appeal may be brought has not expired, or
ii
if an appeal has been brought, that appeal has not been determined.
3
An application under subsection (1) must be made in such manner and state such particulars as may be prescribed; and, without prejudice to subsection (1)(b) of section 76, must be accompanied by the fee imposed under subsection (2)(a) or as the case may be (c) of that section.
4
If SCSWIS decides to grant an application under subsection (1)(a) it must give the applicant notice of its decision (stating, where applicable, the condition varied, removed or added) and issue a new certificate of registration.
