Cancellation of registration.

14.(1) If a person entitled to receive payments under a registered order
desires the registration to be cancelled, he may give notice under this
section.

(2) Where the original court varies or discharges an order registered in a
court of summary jurisdiction, the original court may, if it thinks fit, give
notice under this section.

(3) Where a court of summary jurisdiction discharges an order registered in
the High Court and it appears to the court of summary jurisdiction, whether by
reason of the remission of arrears by that court or otherwise, that no arrears
under the order remain to be recovered, the court of summary jurisdiction
shall give notice under this section.

(4) Notice under this section shall be given to the court of registration; and
where such notice is given

(a)no proceedings for the enforcement of the registered order shall be begun
before the cancellation of the registration and no writ, warrant or other
process for the enforcement thereof shall be issued in consequence of any such
proceedings begun before the giving of the notice;

(b)where the order is registered in a court of summary jurisdiction, any
warrant of commitment issued for the enforcement of the order shall cease to
have effect when the person in possession of the warrant is informed of the
giving of the notice, unless the defendant has then already been detained in
pursuance of the warrant; and

(c)the court of registration shall cancel the registration on being satisfied
in the prescribed manner

(i)that no process for the enforcement of the registered order issued before
the giving of the notice remains in force; and

(ii)in the case of an order registered in a court of summary jurisdiction,
that no proceedings for the variation of the order are pending in a court of
summary jurisdiction.
