Civil Partnerships Act 2011

The registrar must not register the termination of a civil partnership under section 18 before the end of the termination application period for the application.

A termination application may be withdrawn during the termination application period for the application—

if the application is made by 1, but not both, of the parties to the civil partnership—by the party who made the application giving the registrar a withdrawal notice in the approved form; or

if the application is made by both parties—by both parties giving the registrar a withdrawal notice in the approved form.
