MUTUAL RECOGNITION ACT 1992 - SECT 27

Activities under interim deemed registration

  (1)   A person who has interim deemed registration in the second State may carry on the occupation in the second State as if the interim deemed registration were substantive registration in the second State.

  (2)   However, the person may do so only:

  (a)   within the limits conferred by the person's substantive registration in the first State; and

  (b)   within the limits conferred by the person's interim deemed registration in the second State; and

  (c)   subject to any conditions or undertakings applying to the person's registration in the first State, unless waived by the local registration authority of the second State in accordance with this section; and

  (d)   subject to any conditions applying to the person's interim deemed registration.

  (3)   Without limiting anything in this Division:

  (a)   the person may not carry on the occupation in the second State without complying with any public protection requirements; and

  (b)   a person who has interim deemed registration in an occupation in the second State is subject to any disciplinary provisions and arrangements that are applicable to persons who are substantively registered in that State; and

  (c)   references in the law of the second State to persons registered in an occupation under the law of that State (however expressed) extend to persons who have interim deemed registration for the occupation.

  (4)   However, the local registration authority of the second State may waive any condition imposed under the law of the first State, or any undertaking given to the local registration authority of the first State, if it thinks it appropriate in the circumstances.

  (5)   The local registration authority of the second State may impose conditions as if interim deemed registration were substantive registration, but it must not impose conditions that are more onerous than would be imposed in similar circumstances (having regard to relevant qualifications and experience) if it were registration effected apart from this Part, unless they correspond to conditions or undertakings that apply to the person's registration in the first State or that are necessary to achieve equivalence of occupations.
