Part 2: Rogue Landlords and Property Agents in England Chapter 2: Banning Orders Imposition of banning orders Section 20: Revocation or variation of banning order
This section permits a person who is subject to a banning order, to apply to the First-tier Tribunal for the order to be revoked or varied, in certain circumstances. Those circumstances are that one or more of the convictions for banning order offences have been overturned on appeal or one or more of those convictions have become spent (defined by reference to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 which provides that convictions may become spent following a specified period of time). Where all convictions have been overturned the Tribunal must revoke the order. In any other case the Tribunal may revoke or vary the order. A variation of a banning order may relate to the activities from which the person is banned, the existing exceptions to that order or its length.
