16
1
WRA may remove a person from the register where that person has not made an application for removal if WRA considers that the person is required under section 14(1) to make such an application.
2
Before WRA may remove a person from the register under subsection (1), WRA must issue a notice to that person—
a
specifying the reasons why WRA considers that the person is required to make an application for removal,
b
informing the person that WRA will remove the person from the register on the date specified in the notice unless—
i
before that date, the person makes an application for removal that complies with section 14(2), or
ii
WRA is satisfied that the person is not required to make an application for removal, and
c
setting out information about rights of review and appeal.
3
The date specified under subsection (2)(b) must be at least 30 days after the day the notice is issued.
4
A person removed from the register under this section remains liable to penalties under section 15; but the person is to be treated for the purposes of that section as having made an application for removal from the time the person—
a
gives notice to WRA setting out the date the person considers to be the date the person ceased to be a VAP, or
b
makes an application to be registered.
