Commentary on Sections Schedule 27 - Minor and consequential amendments Paragraph 19 – Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953 (c. 20)
931.Paragraph 19 extends the definition of "relative" in section 41 of this Act to include relatives by civil partnership as well as by marriage. This will qualify civil partners and those related to them to give information concerning a death to a registrar of births and deaths, providing the civil partner meets the prescribed conditions in order to give this information.
