If the civil partnership is to be formed in England and Wales, paragraph 4(1)(a) of Schedule 23 requires that the notice of proposed civil partnership must be given to a specified registration authority and must be delivered to the relevant individual in person by the two proposed civil partners. By regulation 2(1), the registration authorities in England and Wales listed in the left-hand column of the Schedule are specified for the purposes of paragraph 4(1) of Schedule 23 to the 2004 Act, and regulation 2(2) defines the relevant individual to whom notice must be delivered by reference to the register offices listed in the right-hand column of the Schedule.",
