The Consumer Credit Licensing (Appeals) Regulations 1998
These Regulations prescribe the period within which and the manner in which appeals may be made under section 41 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. This section provides for the making of appeals to the Secretary of State from certain determinations of the Director General of Fair Trading in relation to the licensing of consumer credit, consumer hire and ancillary credit business. The Regulations also make provision as to the persons by whom such appeals may be heard, the manner in which they are to be conducted and other matters connected with such appeals. They repeal the Consumer Credit Licensing (Appeals) Regulations 1976 (S.I. 1976/837) under which appeals under the 1974 Act have hitherto been conducted, subject to transitional provisions for appeals made before these Regulations come into force.
