Part 1: Licensing of Carbon Dioxide Transport and Storage Chapter 1: Licensing of Activities Section 21: Procedure on appeal to CMA
The process for appeals to be made and dealt with is set out in Schedule 2. Schedule 2 sets out the process by which an application to bring an appeal may be made; provides that the CMA may direct any decision not to have effect pending the determination of an appeal; specifies the time limit for representations and observations by the economic regulator to be made; establishes the way that a CMA group who is making this quasi- judicial determination should be constituted; and specifies the matters that may be considered on appeal. Further, to ensure a fair process and in order that the CMA may make a fully informed decision, the provisions establish a right for the CMA to require the production of documents and written statements, and for persons to attend to give oral evidence. It establishes an offence for failure to comply with a notice to provide information and allows the CMA to make a costs order relating to the appeal.
