Part I: Social Rented Sector regulated by the Welsh Ministers — Chapter I: Registered social landlords

A body which is aggrieved by a decision of the Welsh Ministers—

not to register it as a social landlord, or
to remove or not to remove it from the register of social landlords,

may appeal against the decision to the High Court.

If an appeal is brought against a decision relating to the removal of a body from the register, the Welsh Ministers shall not remove the body from the register until the appeal has been finally determined or is withdrawn.

As soon as may be after an appeal is brought against a decision relating to the removal of a body from the register, the Welsh Ministers shall give notice of the appeal—

in the case of a registered charity, to the Charity Commission,
in the case of a registered society, to the Financial Conduct Authority, and
in the case of a company (including a company that is a registered charity), to the registrar of companies.
