48: Registrar may waive disqualifying factors

You could also call this:

"The Registrar can choose to ignore factors that stop someone from being an officer of a society."

Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

The Registrar can choose to ignore certain factors that would normally stop someone from being an officer of a society. You can ask the Registrar to do this by making an application in the way set out in the regulations. The Registrar can ignore these factors, which are listed in section 47(3)(b) to (g), for a particular person and society. If the Registrar decides to ignore one of these factors, the person it applies to cannot be treated as disqualified from being an officer of the society because of that factor. The Registrar's decision means the person can still be an officer even if they would normally be disqualified. You can find more information about this by looking at the related legislation.
