Where are these conditions [defining "reasonable cause"] published? Is it something as informal as a Code of Practice (for DVLA or whatever), or as formal as [another] SI? Are the nature and extent of the conditions drawn up entirely at the whim of the SoS, or is there some other umbrella regulation - perhaps in a form similar to DPA 29(3) - that acts as a template when the SoS draws up a list of conditions from time to time? [Presumably the SoS then delegates the implementation of checking whether individual applications comply with the conditions - this isn't like wiretapping where he literally has to examine every application himself.] >Before acting on this e-mail or opening any attachments you are advised >to read HBJ Gateley Wareing LLP's disclaimer at the end of this e-mail.
