Regulation 79 Refunds for payment transactions initiated by or through a payee

(1) Where the conditions in paragraph (2) and the requirement in regulation 80(1) are satisfied, the payer is entitled to a refund from its payment service provider of the full amount of any authorised payment transaction initiated by or through the payee.

(2) The conditions are that -

(a) the authorisation did not specify the exact amount of the payment transaction when the authorisation was given in accordance with regulation 67 (consent and withdrawal of consent); and

(b) the amount of the payment transaction exceeded the amount that the payer could reasonably have expected taking into account the payer's previous spending pattern, the conditions of the framework contract and the circumstances of the case.
