The Council may direct the registrar to register any name which was removed in pursuance of section 10(1)( b) of the Act of 1925 from the register of pharmaceutical chemists or the register of druggists.

If any person whose name has been removed in pursuance of section 8(4) of the Act of 1945 from the register of pharmaceutical chemists, the register of druggists or the register of students for non-payment of any fee, pays to the Society, before the expiration of such period (if any) as the Council allows, the fee and any additional sum prescribed in pursuance of Article 15(3), the registrar shall, subject to the provisions of any direction of the Statutory Committee which is in force in relation to the name, register the name of that person; and, if the Council so directs, the registration shall have effect from the date on which the name was removed from the said register.

Where any person whose name has been removed as mentioned in paragraph 2, or a person employed by him in the carrying on of his business, has (whether before or after the removal of the name) been convicted of any such criminal offence, or been guilty of such misconduct, as, in the opinion of the Statutory Committee, renders the convicted or guilty person unfit to have his name on the register, the Committee may, after inquiring into the matter, direct that the name removed as aforesaid shall not be registered, or shall not be registered until the Committee otherwise direct; and, where the Committee direct that a name shall not be registered until the Committee otherwise direct, they may further direct that an application to the Committee in respect of the registration of the name shall not be entertained until the expiration of such period as is specified in the direction or the fulfilment of such conditions as are so specified.

Where the name of any person was absent from the register of pharmaceutical chemists or the register of druggists immediately before the commencement of this Order in pursuance of a direction given under section 13(1) of the Act of 1945 for the removal of the name from that register, the Statutory Committee may, either of their own motion or on the application of that person, being an application made consistently with any direction of the Statutory Committee applicable to him, direct the registrar to register the name of that person, either without any fee or on payment to the Society of such fee as is prescribed in pursuance of Article 20(2); but, where a judge of the High Court has dismissed an appeal against the direction given under the said section 13(1), a direction under this paragraph shall not take effect unless approved by the Lord Chief Justice.

Nothing in this Order shall affect any articles of apprenticeship entered into by any student of the Society before the 1st August 1967, and, in relation to any apprenticeship which is the subject of such articles, any provision of the Pharmacy and Poisons Acts (Northern Ireland) 1925 to 1955, and any regulation made under such a provision, which was applicable thereto immediately before the 1st August 1967 shall be deemed to continue in force and to have effect as if the Pharmacy Act (Northern Ireland) 1967 [1967 c.12] had not been passed and this Order had not been enacted.

Nothing in this Order shall affect the term of office of a member of the Council who holds office at the commencement of Article 4(2).
