27. (1) A person ceases to be a civil partnership officer —
in the case of a person who resigns, on the date on which the Registrar receives the person’s written notice of resignation; or
in the case of a person whose appointment is cancelled by the Deputy Governor under this section, on the date referred to in subsection (5).
The Deputy Governor, after consulting the Registrar, may cancel a person’s appointment as a civil partnership officer if the Deputy Governor is no longer satisfied, with respect to the person, as to any of the matters set out in section 26(2).
The Deputy Governor shall not cancel a person’s appointment as a civil partnership officer without first —
giving the person notice that the Deputy Governor is considering cancelling the appointment;
giving the person a reasonable opportunity to make submissions on the proposed cancellation; and
considering any submissions made by the person within that time.
The Registrar shall give notice in writing to the person concerned of the Deputy Governor’s decision to cancel the person’s appointment as a civil partnership officer, and also of any decision not to proceed with a proposed cancellation.
If a person’s appointment as a civil partnership officer is cancelled, the notice from the Registrar shall specify the date on which the cancellation takes effect, which must be a date not sooner than five days after the date on which the notice is sent.
