Centric Care Solutions Ltd v Care Quality Commission

The Appellant had not been carrying on regulated activities for a continuous period of 12 months prior to the date of the decision. Preparatory activities do not constitute 'carrying on' within the meaning of Regulation 6(1)(c). Cancellation is proportionate given the risk posed by dormant providers and the lack of alternative remedies.
