50Change in body corporate or partnership

50 Change in body corporate or partnership (1) A licensee that is a body corporate or a partnership must, without delay, give the Electrical Safety Regulator written notice of any change in: (a) the name of the body corporate or partnership; or (b) if the body corporate or partnership carries on business under a name other than its name – the name under which it carries on business; or (c) in the case of a partnership – the membership of the partnership. (2) The notice must be accompanied by the electrical contractor licence and may be accompanied by an application in the approved form about how the Electrical Safety Regulator is to act under subregulation (5).

Electrical Safety Regulations 2024 33 (5) After receiving the notice and considering any accompanying application, the Electrical Safety Regulator must: (a) endorse the licence with information about the change of name or business name and reissue it to the body corporate or partnership; or (b) cancel the licence and issue a new licence; or (c) cancel the licence. (6) A new licence may be issued to a partnership with a change in its membership only if the Electrical Safety Regulator is satisfied that: (a) the entire business of electrical contracting work carried on by the partnership in the Territory before the membership change is to be carried on by the partnership after the new licence is issued; and (b) the partnership complies with the eligibility requirements for the issue of the licence. (7) To avoid doubt, a licence reissued with an endorsement of the change of the name or business name of the body corporate or partnership has, subject to the endorsement, continuing effect as the original electrical contractor licence. (8) A new licence issued by the Electrical Safety Regulator under this regulation must be endorsed with a memorandum stating the reasons for the issue of the new licence. (9) If the licence is cancelled under subregulation (5)(c), the Electrical Safety Regulator must give the body corporate or partnership a decision notice for the decision to cancel.
