26: Removal by Registrar

You could also call this:

“How the Registrar can take a board off the list of registered boards”

The Registrar can remove a board from the register if they believe the board is no longer operating or if it was registered by mistake. When the Registrar removes a board, they must write it down in the register and tell everyone about it. They do this by putting a notice in the Gazette and on a website that the Registrar looks after. The notice on the website must stay there for at least 20 working days. The board is officially removed as soon as the Registrar writes it down in the register.
