    (1)     This section applies if the regulator—

        (a)     has decided to serve, or has served, a disciplinary notice on a permission holder; and

        (b)     the grounds specified, or proposed to be specified, in the disciplinary notice.

    (3)     The regulator may serve on the permission holder a notice (an immediate suspension notice ) suspending the permission.

    (4)     An immediate suspension notice served in relation to a permission ends—

        (a)     if the permission is cancelled or suspended under section 218, when the cancellation or suspension takes effect; or

        (b)     if a condition is imposed on the permission, or a condition on the permission is varied, when the condition or varied condition takes effect; or

        (c)     in any other case, when the permission holder is notified under section 218(3) of the decision made on the disciplinary notice.
