A person is disqualified from acting as an officer of a registered provider if the person has been removed under—
section 260, or
paragraph 24(2)(a) of Schedule 1 to the Housing Act 1996 (c. 52), section 30(1)(a) of the Housing Associations Act 1985 (c. 69) or section 20(1)(a) of the Housing Act 1974 (c. 44) (other similar provisions).
The regulator may waive a disqualification either generally or in relation to a particular registered provider or class of registered providers.
A waiver may be granted only on an application by the disqualified person.
The regulator shall notify a person whose disqualification is waived.
If a disqualified person acts as an officer of a registered provider, the person's acts are not invalid by reason only of the disqualification.
