71.This section amends the list of appealable decisions in section 172 of the TCMA 2016 to include decisions relating to the registration of a person under Part 2, issuing notices under section 12 and decisions relating to penalties under Part 2. This amendment means that the reviews and appeals mechanisms in the TCMA 2016 apply to decisions made by WRA in relation to the register.
72.The section also amends section 178 of the TCMA 2016 to provide restrictions on appeals under Part 2, so that a person may not appeal a decision relating to the register unless they have already requested a review of the decision by WRA, and the period within which any such review must be completed has passed.
