Civil Unions Act 2012

A civil union is not invalid only because a requirement of section 8 (Notice of intention to enter into civil union) was not complied with.

A civil union is not invalid only because the person to whom the parties gave notice under section 8, or before whom the parties made the declaration under section 9, was not a civil union celebrant if either party believed, when giving the notice or making the declaration, that the person was a civil union celebrant.
