(a) he may, where he considers it appropriate, publish his intention on the official online journal or any other official publication as may be decided by the Comptroller to remove that matter, and

(b) where any person appears to him to be affected by the removal, he shall send notice of his intention to that person.

(2) Within forty (40) days from the date on which his intention to remove the matter is published, or notice of his intention is sent, as the case may be:

(a) any person may file notice of opposition to the removal on the relevant official form; and

(b) the person to whom a notice is sent under paragraph (b) of sub-rule (1) may file in writing his objections, if any, to the removal.

(4) Where there has been no response to the Comptroller’s notice he may remove the matter.

(5) Where representations objecting to the removal of the entry have been made, the Comptroller may, if he is of the view after considering the objections that the entry or any part thereof has ceased to have effect, remove it or, as appropriate, the part thereof.
