7 Procedure for housebound persons

(1) This regulation applies if the parties to a civil partnership wish to convert their civil partnership into a marriage at the place where one of them is housebound. (2) A person is housebound at any place if, in relation to that person, a statement is made by a registered medical practitioner that, in his or her opinion— (a) because of illness or disability, that person ought not to move or be moved from the place where he or she is at the time the statement is made; and (b) it is likely to be the case for at least the following three months that because of the illness or disability that person ought not to move or be moved from that place. (3) The procedure under which the parties may convert their civil partnership into a marriage is the same as the standard procedure, except that— (a) the details and evidence required by regulation 6(1)(a) to (c) must be accompanied by a statement made under paragraph (2) (a “medical statement”), which must have been made not more than 14 days before the day on which the medical statement is received by the superintendent registrar; (b) the superintendent registrar must attend the parties together at the place at which one of the civil partners is housebound in order to convert the civil partnership; (c) if the conversion does not take place within three months after the date on which the medical statement was made, the superintendent registrar may require the civil partners to provide a new medical statement before any conversion in accordance with the procedure for housebound persons; (d) the fact that the superintendent registrar has received the medical statement must be recorded in the conversion register; and (e) the parties must pay the appropriate fee to the superintendent registrar.

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
