Defects in submissions in respect of continuation after the entrepreneur’s death

If the submission contains defects, the trade licensing office will send the continuing person 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 appointing a responsible representative, providing any missing information, presenting the relevant document, etc.
• Specify a time limit for rectifying the deficiencies
• Advise the continuing person of what will happen if the defect in the submission is not rectified

During the time limit specified in the request, the time limit for registration in the trade licensing register does not run. If the continuing person rectifies the defects within the time limit specified, the notification 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.
