Regulation 9 Validity of enlistment
A person who has enlisted in the regular forces may apply to the Defence Council for a determination that his enlistment is invalid.
Where an enlisted person was aged under 18 at the time of his enlistment, any person who—
is an appropriate person in relation to the enlisted person, or, where the enlisted person has reached the age of 18, was an appropriate person in relation to him immediately before his 18th birthday, and
did not give written consent to the enlistment (whether or not his consent was required under regulation 5),
may apply to the Defence Council for a determination that the enlistment is invalid.
In paragraph (2) “appropriate person” has the same meaning as in regulation 5.
An application may not be made under this regulation after the later of—
the expiry of three months since the enlistment; and
the beginning of the enlisted person’s 16th birthday.
Where an application is made under this regulation the Defence Council may determine, on any ground they see fit, that the enlistment is invalid.
