sec.40 Election to accept or not to accept

The non-entity party may, by written notice ( election notice ) to the energy and water ombudsman, elect to accept or not to accept a final order. An election notice may be given only within 21 days after the non-entity party receives a decision notice about the order. If, under an election notice, the election is not to accept the order, the order stops having effect. If an election notice is not given within the 21 days, the non-entity party is taken to have elected to accept the order and to be bound by it. The energy and water ombudsman must, as soon as practicable, give the relevant entity a written notice about whether or not the order has been accepted. s 40 amd 2010 No. 53 s 3 sch 1 (sec.40-ssec.1) The non-entity party may, by written notice ( election notice ) to the energy and water ombudsman, elect to accept or not to accept a final order.
