Cancellation of registration.
|
10.—(1) The Minister may at any time cancel the registration of any person in a register upon the application in writing of such person, or, in the case of an individual, of his personal representative or, in the case of a body corporate, the liquidator of such body corporate.
|
|
| |
(2) The Minister may at any time, without any such application as aforesaid, cancel the registration of any person in a register if he is satisfied that—
|
|
| |
(a) such registration was procured through fraud or by misrepresentation (whether innocent or fraudulent); or
|
|
| |
(b) the business on account of which such person was so registered has ceased to be carried on; or
|
|
| |
(c) such person, if an individual, has died, or if a body corporate, has been dissolved, and, in either case, no other person has, within three months after such death or dissolution, been registered in the place of the person so dead or dissolved; or
|
|
| |
(d) that such person has been adjudicated a bankrupt; or
|
|
| |
(e) that such person has been convicted of a contravention (whether by way of commission or omission) of this Act or a regulation made thereunder.
|
|
| |
(3) Before cancelling under this section (otherwise than in accordance with an application in that behalf made under this section) the registration of any person in a register, the Minister shall give at least one month's notice in writing to such person or his personal representative (if any) or its liquidator (as the case may be) of his intention so to cancel such registration and the reasons therefor, and shall consider any representations made by such registered person or personal representative or liquidator (as the case may be) within seven days after the service of such notice.
|
|
| |
(4) A notice of the Minister's intention to cancel a registration may be served by delivering it to the person to whom it is addressed or by sending it by post to such person at his last known place of abode or at the last known place at which he carried on the business in respect of which it is proposed to cancel the registration.
