8. Non-Compliance with these conditions at Renewal Stage
- If after consideration of an application for renewal of a person's registration referred to in clause 7.3, the Council is of the opinion that the applicant has failed to comply with the requirements of these conditions, the Council must inform the non-compliant applicant of this fact and afford such applicant an opportunity to submit a written explanation why the requirements have not been met and to indicate how the applicant plans to remedy the deficiency.
- If, after consideration of the applicant's response, the Council accepts the explanation and remedial measures proposed by the applicant, the Council may grant an extension of time to enable the applicant to comply with the requirements.
- If the Council does not accept the explanation or the remedial measures proposed by the applicant, the Council must determine which other remedial measures must be taken by the applicant in order to comply with the requirements and also determine the period of further extension to be granted for this purpose.
- The applicant must, within two weeks before the end of the period determined by the Council in terms of clause 8.3, submit documentary evidence of compliance.
- If the Council is of the opinion that the applicant still fails to comply with the requirements, the Council must refer the matter to the Registration Committee to consider whether or not renewal of such person's registration should be refused and the Registration Committee must, before deciding on the matter, provide an opportunity to the applicant in person to give reasons why renewal of his registration should not be refused.
- If the Registration Committee, after hearing the reasons offered by the applicant, is of the opinion that the registered person's application for renewal must be refused, the Registration Committee must within 30 days from the date of such decision inform the registered person thereof. At the same time, the registered person must be instructed to return the original certificate of registration to the Council within 30 days from the date of such instruction.
- The provisions of section 23 of the Act apply mutatis mutandis in respect of a person whose registration has been cancelled as a result of the non-renewal of his registration in terms of these conditions.
