(1) If the registration officer is of the opinion—
(a) that the particulars given in a claim or objection are insufficient, he or she may ask for further information and take no further action until such information is supplied. However, should such further information not be received by the registration officer by the last date for the receipt of claims and objections specified in the notice referred to in these Regulations no further action need be taken in respect of it;
(b) that a claim may be allowed without the claim being referred to the Chief Registration Officer, he or she may allow the claim provided that no objection is made thereto, and shall so inform the person making the claim;
(c) that a claim or objection cannot be allowed because the particulars given in a claim or objection do not entitle the claimant or objector to succeed, he or she shall refer the matter to the Chief Registration Officer and send a notice in the Form set out as Form 11 in the Schedule, in the case of a claim to the person making the claim, and in the case of an objector to the person objected to, stating the time and place at which the Chief Registration Officer proposes to hear the claim or objection; and the notice sent to a person objected to shall also state the name and address of the objector and the grounds of objection.
(2) The time fixed for the hearing of a claim or objection shall not be earlier than the third day after the date of notice referred to in subregulation (1)(c) hereof.
(3) The registration officer shall make lists of claims and objections available for inspection at his or her address until they are finally disposed of, together with the times and places at which the registration officer proposes to hear any claim or objection.
