9H. Procedure on receipt of notice of appointment under section 9C



(1) On receiving notice of an appointment, the Chief Executive Officer must
enrol the person appointed unless he or she believes the person is not
entitled to be enrolled.

(2) If the Chief Executive Officer receives a notice of appointment in respect
of any rateable property in respect of which 2 people have already been
enrolled-

        appointment of either of the 2 people enrolled, the Chief Executive
        Officer must refuse to enrol the person;

   (b)  if the notice appoints 2 people, the Chief Executive Officer must
        enrol those 2 people and must remove the names of the 2 people
        previously enrolled from the voters' list, regardless of whether or
        not the notice revokes the earlier appointment.

(3) If the Chief Executive Officer refuses to enrol an appointed person, he or
she must advise the person who submitted the notice of appointment of the
refusal in writing and give the person the reason for the refusal.
