SDLTM81050 - Compliance: Opening an enquiry

Time to respond: Immediate issue of a FA03/SCH10/PARA14 formal notice

Although the usual practice will always be to request the information informally in the first place, there may be some circumstances in which the issue of a FA03/SCH10/PARA14 notice at the same time as the notice of enquiry should be considered. See SDLTM84510.

As it may be argued that this is contrary to the spirit of the Code of Practice a report should be made (This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)with the file before issuing a formal notice or telephone if particularly urgent.
