MUTUAL RECOGNITION ACT 1992 - SECT 22

Postponement of registration

  (1)   A local registration authority may postpone the grant of registration mentioned in subsection   20(1) if:

  (a)   any of the statements or information in the notice as required by section   19 are materially false or misleading; or

  (b)   any document or information as required by subsection   19(3) has not been provided or is materially false or misleading; or

  (c)   the circumstances of the person lodging the notice have materially changed since the date of the notice or the date it was lodged; or

  (d)   the authority decides that the occupation in which registration is sought is not an equivalent occupation.

  (2)   If the grant of registration has been postponed, the local registration authority may in due course grant or refuse the registration.

  (3)   The local registration authority may not postpone the grant of registration for longer than a period of 6 months, and the person is entitled to registration as mentioned in subsection   20(1) immediately at the end of that period, unless the registration was refused at or before the end of that period.

  (4)   Nothing in subsection   (3) prevents earlier registration mentioned in subsection   20(1) from being granted on a review by the Tribunal.
