Defects in the application for termination of a trade authorisation

Rectifying defects in submissions

If the application for termination of a trade authorisation contains defects, the trade licensing office will send the submitter a Request for rectification of deficiencies in which it will:

• Identify the defective submission
• Specify the defect contained in the submission
• Indicate how the defect in the submission can be rectified – e.g. by providing any missing information, presenting the relevant document, etc.
• Specify a time limit for rectifying the deficiencies
• Advise the applicant of what will happen if the defect in the submission is not rectified

If the defect in the application for termination is rectified within the time limit, the submission is deemed to have been free of defects from the outset.

After that, the procedure followed by the office depends on whether the defect has been rectified.
