69  Procedure if marriage celebrant has contravened, or committed an offence against, a provision of the Act etc.
 (1) This section applies if the Registrar of Marriage Celebrants determines under paragraph 68(2)(c) that a marriage celebrant to whom a complaint relates has contravened, or committed an offence against, a provision of the Act, this instrument or the old regulations.
 (2) The Registrar must, as soon as practicable after making the determination, give the complainant and the marriage celebrant written notice, signed and dated by the Registrar, of the following matters:
 (a) the determination and the reasons for it;
 (b) whether the Registrar has decided it is appropriate to take disciplinary measures against the marriage celebrant and if so, what those measures are and the reasons for them;
 (c) whether the Registrar has decided it is appropriate to take any other action in relation to the complaint and if so, what that action is and the reasons for it.
Note: If the Registrar decides it is appropriate to take disciplinary measures against a marriage celebrant, subsection 39I(4) of the Act requires the Registrar to give the marriage celebrant notice of the decision and allows the Registrar to also inform the community. The marriage celebrant may apply under section 39J of the Act for review of a decision to suspend or deregister the marriage celebrant.
