187: Registrar must not restore society if objection received

You could also call this:

"The Registrar can't put a society back on the list if someone objects."

Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

The Registrar cannot put a society back on the register if someone objects to it being restored within a certain time frame. You need to know that the Registrar sent a notice with a time frame for objections. The Registrar can still restore the society if they think the objection is not valid. The Registrar might think the objection is not valid if it has been withdrawn, or if the facts it is based on are incorrect. The Registrar can also restore the society if they think the objection is frivolous or vexatious. This means the objection is not serious or is meant to cause trouble.
