        (1)         Where a person is for the time being nominated for the purposes of regulation 36(1), (2) or (3) or 37(1), as the case may be, in respect of a licence, the nomination of that person may be cancelled at any time — 

            (a)         by notice in writing given by that person to the holder of the licence and the Board; or

            (b)         by notice in writing given by the holder of the licence to the Board and the person nominated.

        (2)         The holder of a licence may nominate more than one person for the purposes of regulation 36(1), (2) or (3) or 37(1) and such a nomination may be made at any time, but a person shall not be so nominated unless he or she meets the requirements specified in regulation 36(1)(a) and (b) or 37(1)(a) as the case requires.

        (2a)         The holder of a licence may nominate a person —

            (a)         as a replacement for a nominee; or

            (b)         as an additional nominee,

                by giving notice in writing to the Board together with the appropriate fee set out in Schedule 1.

        (3)         A person is ineligible to be, or continue to be, a nominee in respect of a licence unless he or she is employed by the holder of the licence or he or she is approved by the Board for the purposes of this regulation.

        (4)         Where a holder of a licence nominates as his or her nominee a person who is ineligible under subregulation (3) or permits a person who is so ineligible to continue to be his or her nominee, the holder of the licence commits an offence.

        (5)         A person who is ineligible to be a nominee who — 

            (a)         permits himself or herself to be nominated as the nominee in respect of a licence; or

            (b)         continues to be a nominee in respect of a licence,

                commits an offence.

        (6)         Where, by reason of cancellation under subregulation (1) or for any other reason, a person who was a nominee in respect of a licence ceases to be a nominee in respect of that licence, the holder of the licence shall forthwith notify the Board.

        (7)         Except where the holder of a licence makes arrangements satisfactory to the Board, upon the holder of a licence ceasing to employ at least one nominee, the licence is, by operation of this subregulation, thereupon suspended except where — 

            (a)         in the case of a licence held by an individual, the individual; or

            (b)         in the case of a licence held by a firm or a corporation, at least one member of the firm or body corporate,

                meets the requirements specified in regulation 37.
