Rule 26: Special kinds of licensable bodies

26.1

The SRA does not accept applications for any order to be made by it under section 106 of the LSA from any licensable body.

Guidance note

(i)

The LSA provides the special kind of licensable bodies mentioned in section 23 with a grace period during which they are not required to apply for authorisation as a licensed body. However, during the grace period (which is expected to end in March 2013), such bodies may apply for authorisation under these rules but will not be able to request special treatment under section 106.
