20A .         Cancellation of licence or practising certificate at request of licensed surveyor

        (1)         A licensed surveyor may — 

            (a)         give notice in writing signed by him and delivered to the secretary requesting that his licence or practising certificate be cancelled; and

            (b)         surrender his licence or practising certificate to the secretary.

        (2)         The secretary shall, on receipt of that notice and that licence or practising certificate, cancel that licence or practising certificate.

        (3)         A person whose licence or practising certificate has been cancelled under subsection (2) may apply on a form approved by the Board for a new licence or practising certificate.

        (4)         On payment to the Board of the prescribed fee and on being satisfied in respect of the applicant of the relevant matters set out in section 7, the Board shall issue a new licence or practising certificate to the applicant and may in so doing subject that licence or practising certificate to such conditions as the Board thinks fit to impose.

        (5)         Despite the surrender by a person of a licence or a practising certificate or its cancellation under this section, this Act applies, for the purpose of enabling the person to be investigated or otherwise dealt with for a matter arising before the surrender, as if the licence or practising certificate had not been surrendered or cancelled.
