22. Application by employer to review premium



(1) An employer may apply to the Authority for the premium to be reviewed to
determine whether the amount of the premium is the amount calculated in
accordance with the relevant premiums order.

(1A) An application under subsection (1) may only be made in relation to
premium for-

   (a)  the policy period current at the date on which the application is
        made;

   (b)  any of the 4 completed policy periods before that period.

(2) On receiving such an application, the Authority must review the amount of
the premium.

(3) In this section premium includes amounts-

   (a)  paid or payable as premium;

   (b)  purportedly paid or payable as premium;

   (c)  paid or payable as a default penalty, late payment penalty, interest
        or otherwise in respect of an amount paid or payable or purportedly
        paid or payable as premium;

   (d)  purportedly paid or payable as a default penalty, late payment
        penalty, interest or otherwise in respect of an amount paid or payable
        or purportedly paid or payable as premium.

(4) If, in the course of a review under this section, the Authority determines
that, in respect of any of the policy periods to which the application
relates, there has been an adjustment to the premium which the Authority was
not authorised to make, the Authority must discontinue that review and review
the application under section 28A as if the application had been an
application under section 22A.
