Structure of the Act Part 2 – Regulation of Social Housing Suspension and removal of officers Section 262 – Disqualification of removed person
775.This section disqualifies anyone from acting as an officer of a registered provider if they have been removed (not suspended) under section 260, or under parts of previous Acts which now only apply to Wales. The regulator may waive a disqualification if the person applies for a waiver. If they do act as an officer while disqualified, their acts are not invalid by reason only of the disqualification – if their acts were automatically void, this could cause problems for the provider.
