Paragraph 4

Where a request for assistance in exercising any of the rights referred to in Article 8 in a country or territory (other than the United Kingdom) specified in the request is made by a person resident in the United Kingdom and submitted through the Registrar under Article 14(2), the Registrar shall, if he is satisfied that the request is addressed to the appropriate person, send it to the designated authority in the specified country or territory.

If the Registrar decides that he is not required by sub-paragraph (1) to render assistance to the requesting person he shall, where practicable, notify that person of the reasons for his decision.
