FIRE SERVICES (FIRE HAZARD ABATEMENT) REGULATION - SECT 34

Rescission of closure order after successful appeal

(1) If a person (first-mentioned person) successfully appeals against a
conviction (first-mentioned conviction) on which a closure order is based, the
appellate court shall rescind the order unless-

   (a)  the first-mentioned person or any other person was convicted in the
        same proceedings of an offence of which he remains convicted and, as a
        result, the order could have been made without reference to the
        first-mentioned conviction; or

   (b)  the appellate court substitutes a verdict of guilty of another offence
        on which the order could, if the person had originally been convicted
        of that offence, have been based.

(2) The court that rescinds a closure order under subsection (1) shall, as
soon as reasonably practicable, cause a notice in writing sealed with the seal
of the court stating that fact to be sent to the Director.

(3) On receipt of the notice under subsection (2), the Director shall, as soon
as reasonably practicable, cause it to be registered in the Land Registry.
