SRA Practising Regulations 2011 forms part of Edition 3 of the Handbook, which came into effect on 18 April 2012.
The SRA may reconsider or rescind a decision made under these regulations when it appears that the decision maker:
was not provided with material evidence that was available to the SRA;
was materially misled;
failed to take proper account of material facts or evidence;
took into account immaterial facts or evidence;
made a material error of law;
made a decision which was otherwise irrational or procedurally unfair;
made a decision which was otherwise ultra vires; or
failed to give sufficient reasons.
A decision may be reconsidered under 17.1 only on the initiative of the SRA.
The SRA may also give directions:
for further investigations to be undertaken;
for further information or explanation to be obtained; and
for the reconsideration to be undertaken by the original decision maker or by a different decision maker or panel.
