SDLTM80860 - Compliance: Opening an enquiry

FA03/SCH10/PARA12: Case owner

Where more than one person may be involved in an enquiry, one person should be designated the case owner at this point. This person should be responsible for co-ordinating all work on the case.

The case-owner, will not necessarily be the person who carries out all the work appropriate to the transaction.

It may be that another officer in the same office, or another office, will be responsible for dealing with correspondence on a particular issue.

The case-owner, however, should retain an oversight of the enquiry and will be responsible for issuing the opening and closing notices.
