sec.147 Duration of arrangements for small customers
A RoLR deemed small customer retail arrangement ceases to be in operation if a customer retail contract is formed in relation to the premises, but this subsection does not affect any rights or obligations that have already accrued under that arrangement. There is no minimum period for the small customer to remain with a designated RoLR on a RoLR deemed small customer retail arrangement. If the small customer is still a customer of a designated RoLR on a RoLR deemed small customer retail arrangement at the end of the period of 3 months after the transfer date, a standard retail contract, in the form of the designated RoLR’s standard retail contract, is taken to have been formed between the small customer and the designated RoLR. After that period of 3 months (but not earlier unless the designated RoLR agrees), the small customer and designated RoLR may seek to negotiate a market retail contract in accordance with section 33 .
