Part 1: Sanctions regulations Chapter 2: Review by appropriate Minister Section 27: Right to request revocation of specification of ship
Any person affected by a ship being specified for sanctions purposes (under section 14), may make a request to the appropriate Minister to revoke the specification. This is similar to the procedure for designated persons under section 23. When a request has been made under this section, a further request cannot be made unless it is based on a significant new matter that the Minister has not previously considered.
	The appropriate Minister will have a duty to consider these requests as soon as reasonably practicable (as specified in section 33). The Minister may take the decision to use the power to revoke a decision, or they may choose to take no action so that the specification remains in force. Persons affected by the specification need to follow this procedure before bringing any challenge in the courts (as specified in section 38).
