13.—(1) A person who wishes to appeal under section 56(1)(ac) of the 1983 Act against the decision of a registration officer to refuse an identity document application must give notice of the appeal to the registration officer, before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the notification under regulation 12 is given, specifying the grounds of the appeal.
(2) Where regulation 12(4) applies in respect of the refusal, the reference to notification in paragraph (1) is to be read as the first notification under regulation 12 to that person.
(3) The registration officer must forward any such notice to the relevant court in the manner directed by rules of court together with a statement setting out—
(a)the material facts which in the registration officer’s opinion have been established in the case,
(b)the registration officer’s decision, and
(c)the registration officer’s representations on any point specified as a ground of appeal.
(4) The registration officer must also give to the relevant court any other information which the court may require and which the registration officer is able to give.
(5) Where it appears to a registration officer that any notices of appeal given to the registration officer are based on similar grounds, the registration officer must inform the relevant court of this to enable the court (if it thinks fit) to consolidate the appeals or select a case as a test case.
(6) In this regulation, “relevant court”—
(a)where the registration officer is appointed for an area in England or Wales, means the county court;
(b)where the registration officer is appointed for an area in Scotland, means the sheriff.
