This section relates to the cancellation of registration on request. In respect of the person applying for the cancellation, it states, "at the time of applying, the subject of a complaint", meaning the registration cannot be cancelled. What occurs in the case of a person who has cancelled his or her registration, but against whom a complaint is subsequently made? He or she cannot be struck off a register he or she is not on, but who will investigate the complaint? In such an instance, could the person apply to be re-registered two years later?
