Section 14: Issue of civil partnership schedule
33.This section provides for the issue of a civil partnership schedule at the end of the waiting period. Subsection (2) confers a power to make provision as to the contents of the civil partnership schedule. The schedule may be issued on the request of one or both of the proposed civil partners, provided the relevant registration authority is satisfied that there is no lawful impediment to the couple forming a civil partnership and that any objections to the proposed civil partnership have been satisfactorily investigated by the relevant registration authority or have been withdrawn. “The relevant registration authority” means the authority which first records that a notice of proposed civil partnership has been given.
