Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

Any person may object to an intended registration of a proposed civil partnership giving any registering officer notice of his objection.

(2)

A notice of objection must—

(a)

state the objector’s place of residence and the ground of objection, and

(b)

be signed by or on behalf of the objector.

(3)

If a notice is given to a registering officer, he must ensure that the fact that it has been given and the information in it are recorded as soon as possible.

(4)

Where an objection has been lodged, the person named therein may not form a civil partnership until either the objection has been withdrawn by the person who entered it, or the registering officer is satisfied that the objection ought not to obstruct the person named from forming a civil partnership.
