    (2)     The statement under subsection (1) must be—

        (a)     signed by the person or 1 of the people in relation to whom the name is registered; and

        (b)     given to the registrar-general within 1 month before or after the end of the registration.

    (3)     The registrar-general must, before or after the end of the registration of a business name, give a person in relation to whom a business name is registered, a notice of the date the registration is to end but not earlier than 3 months before the day the registration is to end.

    (4)     The registrar-general must, before or after the end of the registration of a business name, but not earlier than 1 month before the end of the registration, send by post to the person or people in relation to whom the business name is or was registered, at the place shown in the register as the place where business is carried on under the business name, a notice of the date the registration is to end or has ended.

    (5)     If the registration of a business name has ended, the registrar-general must not accept for registration from anyone, other than the person or people in relation to whom the business name was registered, any business name that is identical to the business name or that, in the registrar-general's opinion, so nearly resembles it as to be calculated to deceive, until the end of 1 month after the registration ends.
