(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Civil Partnership (Registration Abroad and Certificates) Order 2005 to reflect the changes to the Civil Partnership Act 2004 as amended by the Legislative Reform (Civil Partnership) Order 2012.
The Order deletes the definition of “civil partnership officer” from Article 2 of the Civil Partnership (Registration Abroad and Certificates) Order 2005 and substitutes a definition of the term “registration officer”. The term “registration officer” replaces the term “a prescribed officer of Her Majesty’s Diplomatic Service” in section 210(1)(b) of the Civil Partnership Act, 2004 as amended by the Legislative Reform (Civil Partnership) Order 2012. This term is defined in section 210(6) of that Act.
A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of the business and voluntary sectors has not been prepared for this Order, as no impact on the business and voluntary sectors is foreseen.
