Satisfactory applications that do not require referral are
either approved or granted interim authorisation automatically
depending on the presence/absence of definitive deeds. The approval
status is therefore set to “approved” or “interim
authorisation” and the respective files sent to FILE or
Rockall (on a two year BF) with the exception of insured schemes
(see
PSI22.1.39).
