Commentary Part 1.Water Industry Chapter 4.Retail Exit: Non-Household Premises Section 48: Exit applications: further provision
193.Section 48 allows exit regulations to control what a relevant undertaker’s conditions of appointment say about making exit applications. In particular, the regulations may prevent the inclusion of a provision that would require a relevant undertaker to make an exit application. The regulations could also include a requirement for Ofwat or the CMA to seek the Secretary of State’s consent before exercising their functions in a way that might require a relevant undertaker to make an exit application.
