Chapter 1

Registration

The standard procedure

Issue of civil partnership schedule
14
1
As soon as the waiting period in relation to each notice of proposed civil partnership has expired, the registration authority in whose area it is proposed that the registration take place is under a duty, at the request of one or both of the proposed civil partners, to issue a document to be known as a “
civil partnership schedule
”.
2
Regulations may make provision as to the contents of a civil partnership schedule.
3
The duty in subsection (1) does not apply if the registration authority is not satisfied that there is no lawful impediment to the formation of the civil partnership.
4
If an objection to the issue of the civil partnership schedule has been recorded in the register, no civil partnership schedule is to be issued until—
a
the relevant registration authority has investigated the objection and is satisfied that the objection ought not to obstruct the issue of the civil partnership schedule, or
b
the objection has been withdrawn by the person who made it.
5
“
The relevant registration authority
” means the authority which first records that a notice of proposed civil partnership has been given by one of the proposed civil partners.
