23Refusal of registration

#### 23 Refusal of registration (1) A local registration authority may refuse the grant of registration mentioned in subsection 20(1) if: (a) any of the statements or information in the notice as required by section 19 are materially false or misleading; or (b) any document or information as required by subsection 19(3) has not been provided or is materially false or misleading; or (c) the authority decides that the occupation in which registration is sought is not an equivalent occupation and equivalence cannot be achieved by the imposition of conditions. (2) A decision to refuse to grant the registration on the ground that the occupation in which registration is sought is not an equivalent occupation takes effect at the end of a specified period (not less than 2 weeks) after the person is notified of the decision, unless it has been previously revoked or there is an application for review to the Tribunal, in which case the Tribunal may make whatever orders it considers appropriate.
