Mauritius Notice of Change in Registered Particulars of a Limited Liability Partnership (Form S44/F LLP7)

Candidate selection

GOV-4960 ("GovSchema Standard Research"). The prior ten CBRD Mauritius Business Formation cycles (GOV-4897 through GOV-4953) authored LLP1, the Foundation registration form, LLP2 Consent of Partner, LP Consent of General Partner, LP5 (Change of Name), LP7 (Change in Registered Particulars), LLP5 (Change of Name), LLP4 (Change of Registered Office), and LLP8 (Removal from Register) — closing the original five-item companion/notice backlog first disclosed on GOV-4911. Every cycle since GOV-4925 has carried forward, unauthored, a further batch surfaced that same cycle but never independently re-verified: an LLP7 "Registered Particulars" notice distinct from the already-authored LP7 (the listing page reuses "LP7" and "LLP7" as separate form codes), change-of-general-partner, change-of-manager/partner (LLP6), name-reservation (LP1, LLP3), annual return (LP3), and a Foundation change-of-name form.

This cycle re-fetched CBRD's own downloadable-forms listing (https://companies.govmu.org/cbrd/downloadable-forms/, HTTP 200, 185,260 bytes) fresh via curl and grepped its raw HTML for every .pdf link, confirming all items in the GOV-4925-surfaced batch are still linked: NOTICE-OF-CHANGE-IN-REGISTERED-PARTICULARS_LLP7.pdf, APPLICATION-FOR-RESERVATION-OF-LIMITED-PARTNERSHIP-NAME_LP1.pdf, Annual-Return_LP3.pdf, NOTICE-OF-CHANGE-OF-GENERAL-PARTNER_LP.pdf, NOTICE-OF-CHANGE-OF-MANAGER_LLP6.pdf, NOTICE-OF-CHANGE-OF-PARTNER_LLP6.pdf, RESERVATION-OF-NAME-LLP_LLP3.pdf, and APPLICATION-TO-CHANGE-NAME-OF-A-FOUNDATION.pdf. This cycle also noticed CONSENT-OF-MANAGER-_LLP2.pdf now appears in the listing's own HTML for the first time since the GOV-4911 cycle disclosed it as a genuine dead link (HTTP 404) — flagged below for a future cycle to re-test live, not re-tested this cycle since it falls outside this cycle's single-deliverable scope.

The LLP7 "Registered Particulars" notice was picked over the rest of the unscreened batch because it is the direct Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2016 analogue of the already-authored LP7 (Limited Partnerships Act 2011), the same "next natural pick after last cycle's sibling" reasoning already used to select LP7 after LP5 (GOV-4932) and LLP5 after LP5's own LLP-Act analogue relationship — the fastest path to a low-ambiguity companion schema versus the four other unscreened candidates (LP1/LLP3 name-reservation, LP3 annual return, LLP6, LP change-of-general-partner, and the Foundation change-of-name form), none of which yet have a same-registry sibling to model against.

• Plain unauthenticated curl, no session/cookie state, no CAPTCHA/WAF challenge — same unauthenticated hosting pattern as every other CBRD form this registry has already modelled.
• HTTP 200, 45,904 bytes retrieved (confirmed independently via both a curl -I HEAD request — content-length: 45904 — and a full download). This is the first cycle to byte-verify this specific file; no prior banked estimate existed to cross-check against.
• sha256 of the retrieved bytes: c9bf7b48d80b019fa619094be73643ff9f8234484ea02e57f3db397b2ed654bd.
• 1 page, confirmed via pdfjs-dist's numPages.
• getAnnotations() returned 0 form-field annotations — not an interactive AcroForm, same as every sibling CBRD schema.
• getTextContent() returned 95 positioned text items — a genuine text layer, with every printed label and blank-line dot-leader run recovered cleanly. Items were sorted by descending y-coordinate (then x) and grouped into rows to reconstruct the form's exact top-to-bottom layout, disambiguating the two-column "Signatures" / "Full names" grid by each item's own x-position (signature column at x≈72, full-name column at x≈360 — the same left-to-right order as the LP7 sibling).
• A supplementary canvas render (node-canvas, 2.5x scale, cropped to the header/identification region) independently confirmed the box layout: a single wide box with one ruled line ("Name of Limited Liability Partnership"), then two small bordered boxes stacked vertically beneath it ("Registered No." above "Category") — the same two-box (not three-box) pattern as the LP7/LLP4 siblings, not the three-box pattern used by the LLP5/LP5 change-of-name siblings. The render dropped every glyph via a Helvetica path-resolution warning (the same known node-canvas font-substitution gap documented in this registry's gov-form-pdf-extraction practice note), so it was used for box/layout confirmation only, not text confirmation — the clean text-layer extraction supplied every field label and position.

Authority attribution

The form's own header ("THE LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIPS ACT 2016", "(Section 44)", form code "S44-F LLP7") and its hosting directly on the Corporate and Business Registration Department's own domain (companies.govmu.org/cbrd/, the same authority already attributed on every other CBRD schema in this registry) attribute authority to the Corporate and Business Registration Department (abbreviation CBRD) directly.

Extraction method

A single positional text-layer dump (sorted by descending y-coordinate, then x) reconstructed the form's row structure — the same method used on every prior CBRD sibling. A supplementary canvas render (see above) confirmed the box/line layout where the text layer alone left ambiguity about box boundaries.

Document structure

Page 1 (single page):

• Header: "FOR OFFICE USE" (shaded label) | "S44-F LLP7" (printed form reference code, not fillable) | "Document Folio" (officer-only small box beneath it) — none modelled, same officer-only header pattern as every sibling CBRD schema.
• Title block: "THE LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIPS ACT 2016" / "NOTICE OF CHANGE IN REGISTERED PARTICULARS" / "(Section 44)" — static, not modelled.
• Existing-LLP identification block: "Name of Limited Liability Partnership" (single-ruled-line box), followed by two small bordered boxes stacked vertically — "Registered No.", "Category". Matches the LP7 sibling's own two-box pattern (no third "Date of Registration" box, unlike the LP5/LLP5 change-of-name siblings), confirmed both by the clean text-layer extraction (no "Date of Registration" string anywhere in the 95 extracted items) and the canvas render. Both boxes are modelled required, since the notice cannot be processed without identifying which registered Limited Liability Partnership's particulars are changing.
• Change(s)-filed block: "The following change (s) in information stated in the declaration referred to in Section 44 is/are filed with the Registrar:" followed by four blank ruled lines with no further structure (no per-item labels, no repeatable table) — modelled as a single free-text field (changesFiled), the same convention already used for the LP7 sibling's own equivalent field. Transcribed verbatim from the source; the form cites "Section 44" for both the notice itself and the underlying declaration, unlike the LP7 sibling's own paragraph, which cites two distinct sections ("11(1) or 19(2)(d)") of the Limited Partnerships Act 2011 — a genuine drafting difference between the two Acts, not a transcription simplification.
• Declaration block: "Date: ______", then "Partner (s)" / "Signatures:" / "Full names:" column headers followed by a four-row grid of blank ruled-line pairs. A genuine terminology difference from the LP7 sibling: this form prints "Partner (s)", not "General Partner (s)" — the same LLP-vs-LP terminology difference already disclosed between the LLP5 and LP5 siblings ("partner(s)" vs. "general partner(s)"). Modelled using this registry's established bounded-slot convention (slot 1 required, slots 2-4 optional, no requiredWhen gate, since the source prints no count/checkbox field to gate on) — the same pattern already used for the LP7/LLP8 signature grids. The Signature column prints on the left (x≈72) and the Full-name column on the right (x≈360), matching the LP7 sibling's own column order and the reverse of the LLP8 sibling's own reversed order (Full Name before Signature) — confirmed independently by each item's own x-position.
• No "Presented By" block and no "(For office use)" fee/officer column — confirmed absent by a substring search across all 95 extracted text items (no occurrence of "presented" anywhere on the page), matching the LP7 sibling's own disclosed finding. This form ends immediately after the four-row signature grid.
• No footer "Sheet ___ of ___" line or checkboxes were found on this form, confirmed by the same substring search and by visual inspection of the canvas render, which shows blank margin below the signature grid.

Conformance

No requiredWhen gates are used — every field on this form is either unconditionally required (slot 1 of the identification and signature blocks) or unconditionally optional (slots 2-4 of the signature grid). An ephemeral, uncommitted Node script exercised:

• 1 valid scenario: all required fields supplied (nameOfLimitedLiabilityPartnership, registeredNo, category, changesFiled, declarationDate, partner1Signature, partner1FullName), all three optional slot-2/3/4 field pairs omitted.
• 1 valid scenario: all 13 fields supplied (slots 2-4 filled in).
• 7 required-field-omission mutations (one per required field, each independently rejected as expected).
• 1 unknown-field-rejection mutation, rejected as expected.

Both node tools/validate.mjs and node tools/validate-ajv.mjs pass against the full registry with this schema included.

Scope and disclosed backlog

This schema does not model any of the other companion/notice forms on the same downloadable-forms listing:

• Surfaced on the GOV-4925 cycle, still not independently re-verified by any cycle: NOTICE-OF-CHANGE-OF-GENERAL-PARTNER_LP.pdf (a distinct form from the already-authored LP Consent of General Partner), NOTICE-OF-CHANGE-OF-MANAGER_LLP6.pdf and NOTICE-OF-CHANGE-OF-PARTNER_LLP6.pdf (two separate LLP6-coded files, not yet screened to determine whether they are two distinct forms or a duplicate listing), APPLICATION-FOR-RESERVATION-OF-LIMITED-PARTNERSHIP-NAME_LP1.pdf, RESERVATION-OF-NAME-LLP_LLP3.pdf, Annual-Return_LP3.pdf, and APPLICATION-TO-CHANGE-NAME-OF-A-FOUNDATION.pdf. All eight filenames were re-confirmed still linked on the listing page's own HTML this cycle (see "Candidate selection" above), but none have been fetched or byte-verified since first surfaced.
• CONSENT-OF-MANAGER-_LLP2.pdf now reappears in the listing's own HTML for the first time since the GOV-4911 cycle disclosed it as a genuine dead link (HTTP 404) on the Department's own hosting — not re-tested live this cycle; flagged for a future cycle to re-check whether the Department has fixed the link.
• Application for Removal of Limited Partnership from Register (LP4) remains the second genuine dead link (HTTP 404) first disclosed on the GOV-4911 cycle, not re-tested this cycle.

Full company incorporation itself remains out of scope (login-gated CBRIS portal, no static equivalent, per every prior CBRD schema's own disclosed scope).
