Duration of registration

14: Cancelling registrations

You could also call this:

“How the Registrar can cancel an auctioneer's registration”

The Registrar can cancel the registration of an auctioneer for several reasons. If you’re an individual auctioneer, they can cancel your registration if you’re no longer allowed to be registered. If you’re a company, they can cancel it if the company or anyone managing it isn’t allowed to be registered.

The Registrar can also cancel a registration if you got registered by lying or cheating, if your application or annual fees didn’t go through, if you’ve stopped working as an auctioneer, or if you hired someone to do auctions for you when you knew they weren’t allowed to be registered.

Before the Registrar cancels a registration, they have to tell you about it. They’ll explain why they want to cancel it and give you 20 working days to write back and explain why they shouldn’t. They’ll also tell you when they plan to cancel it.

The Registrar will read what you write to them. If they still decide to cancel your registration, they’ll send you a letter. This letter will tell you that your registration is cancelled, when it will happen, and why they’re doing it.
