(2) If at any time the Board, following an inspection of registered premises by an officer of the Board, is of opinion that such premises have ceased to be eligible for registration, the Board shall cause a second inspection of such premises to be made by an officer of the Board.

(b) if during the said thirty days no such written representations are received by the Board, the Board shall cancel the registration;
(c) if during the said thirty days such written representations are received by the Board, the Board shall cause a third inspection of such premises to be made by a different officer of the Board;
(d) if the Board, notwithstanding such third inspection and having considered the written representations received as aforesaid, remains of opinion that such premises have ceased to be eligible for registration, the Board shall cancel the registration;
(e) if the Board, as a result of such third inspection and having considered the written representations received as aforesaid, becomes of opinion that such premises have not ceased to be eligible for registration, the Board shall give notice to that effect to the registered proprietor.
(4) Cancellation under this section of registration shall have effect from a date determined by the Board, not being earlier than fourteen days after the decision to cancel is made, and the Board shall, not later than seven days before the date so determined, serve notice on the registered proprietor that the registration will be cancelled on that date.
(5) References in this section to the opinion of the Board that a registered proprietor has wilfully failed to adhere to any charges or that registered premises have ceased to be eligible for registration shall be construed as references to such opinion formed by the Board itself and not by the Board acting through or by any of its officers or servants.
