This amendment replaces the original section 42. Although at face value a substantial amendment, it is essentially a presentational amendment proposed on the basis of legal advice. It provides for the circumstances under which a charitable organisation which has applied successfully for entry on the register of charities may be removed from the register by the authority. It ensures the circumstances reflect those applicable to those charities deemed to be registered under section 40. This underlies the principle that charities deemed to be registered and charities which apply and become registered would be regarded equally under the legislation.
