3

Event 2 occurs if—

a

the relevant statutory period ends, and

6

Event 5 occurs if the Secretary of State gives the registration authority or authorities notice that the duty under section 14(1) is applicable.

b

c

This paragraph applies in addition to any other requirements applicable to the issue of the civil partnership schedule.

9

This paragraph is subject to paragraph 4.

10

In this paragraph—

70 day period” has the same meaning as in section 50 of the 2014 Act;

section 48 notice” means notice under section 48(8) of the 2014 Act;

section 50 notice” means notice under section 50(7) of the 2014 Act.

Civil partnership to be investigated: extension of waiting period to 70 days31

The modifications in this paragraph have effect if the Secretary of State gives the registration authority notice under section 48(8) of the 2014 Act of a decision to investigate whether the referred civil partnership is a sham.

2

Section 11(b): the reference to the period of 28 days has effect as a reference to the relevant 70 day period.

3

But, for the purposes of section 10, the waiting period is not extended by sub-paragraph (2).

4

In this paragraph “relevant 70 day period” means the period—

a

b

that notice is given at a time when the duty under section 14(1) to issue a civil partnership schedule in respect of the referred civil partnership has not arisen in accordance with paragraph 2.

2

The duty under section 14(1) to issue a civil partnership schedule in respect of the referred civil partnership arises on the giving of the notice under section 12(5), subject to any other requirements applicable to the issue of the schedule being met.

3

But the requirements of paragraph 2 are not applicable in such a case.

4

The Secretary of State is not prevented from deciding to conduct, conducting, or continuing, an investigation if a schedule in respect of the referred civil partnership is issued as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2).

5

But in such a case, nothing in the 2014 Act requires the Secretary of State to decide whether to conduct, or to continue, an investigation.

6

In this paragraph “investigation” means an investigation, conducted following a decision by the Secretary of State under section 48 of the 2014 Act, whether a proposed civil partnership is a sham.
