Regulation 10: Duration of recognition and renewal date

10.1

Recognition is renewable yearly and the renewal date is 31 October in each successive year.

Recognition continues in force unless it is revoked, or unless it expires under regulation 12 or is suspended by the High Court.

Guidance note

(i)

When firms recognised under these regulations are transitioned to be recognised bodies regulated under the SRA Authorisation Rules their recognition will become a lifetime recognition and annual renewal of recognition will not be necessary. Other requirements will apply annually, including rules 8.3 (Payment of periodical fees) and 8.7 (Information requirements) of the SRA Authorisation Rules.
