Definition(s)
Concession Owner
The new definition of ‘concession owner’ replaces and simplifies that formerly contained in MWA, but is otherwise similar in meaning to the previous definition. The concession owner is the person who appoints the operator (see paragraph 11). Where no operator is appointed, the concession owner becomes the operator and takes on the responsibilities of the duty holder under these Regulations. The concession owner has a duty of co-operation under regulation 8 in any case.
