Relationships Register Act 2016

Registration of a registered relationship is void if—

when the relationship was registered, registration under this Act was prohibited; or

the agreement of 1 or both of the persons in the relationship to the registration was obtained by fraud, duress or other improper means;

or

when the relationship was registered, either party was mentally incapable of understanding the nature and effect of the registration.

If the registration of a registered relationship is void, the

Registrar must note that fact in the Register.

A court may, on its own initiative, make an order declaring the registration of a registered relationship void by operation of this section if a question arises in proceedings as to the registration.
