207.This section gives the Authority and those affected by the proposed transfer a right to be heard by the court when it is considering an application under section 107.  This will mean that the Authority will be able to make representations about matters which, as regulator, cause it concern.  It also ensures that any person connected with either the transferor or transferee firm - including customers of either firm or their employees - may also make representations to the court about the implications for them.  The court will be able to take these views into account when considering the application.
