(2) If the name of the trade union is entered in the list of trade unions under Article 5 of the 1992 Order a change of name shall not take effect until approved by the Certification Officer.
(3) The Certification Officer shall not approve a change of name if it appears to him that the proposed new name—
(a)is the same as one entered in either of the lists under that Article as the name of another trade union or employers' association, or
(b)is a name so nearly resembling such a name as to be likely to deceive the public.
