Schedules Schedule 7: Costs recovery: procedure, appeals and recovery
This schedule sets out the procedure for the OfS to require a provider to pay costs relating to a sanction in accordance with section 73, the right of appeal against such a requirement, provisions relating to recovery of these costs and retention of the sums received by the OfS.
	The OfS must notify the provider of the amount to be paid, how and when the payment must be made and rights of appeal.
	A provider may appeal to the First-tier Tribunal against the decision that costs are payable or the amount of those costs on any of the grounds set out in paragraph 3(2) of this Schedule. The remedies available if the appeal is successful are set out in paragraph 3(3).
	This Schedule also sets out the consequences of late payment of a penalty and the circumstances in which the requirement to pay the penalty is suspended. Costs recovered by the OfS must be paid to the Secretary of State, except to the extent that the Secretary of State, with the consent of HM Treasury, directs otherwise. The OfS must pay interest on such costs to the Secretary of State.
