Commentary on Sections Section 28: Access to information in the Register of Presumed Deaths
Amends the Presumption of Death Act (Northern Ireland) 2009 to enable regulations to be made which may: 1) make provision for any person to access any information contained in the Register of Presumed Deaths; 2) make provision for the Registrar General to enter into arrangements with 3rd parties for the purpose of providing access to information contained in the Register of Presumed Deaths; and 3) make provision for the Registrar General to transfer information from the Register of Presumed Deaths to 3rd parties, subject to conditions, for the purpose of providing access to such information.  These provisions bring access to the Register of Presumed Deaths into line with other registration records.
