  "description": "The Corporate and Business Registration Department (CBRD)'s \"Notice of Change of Partner\", Form S44(5)-F LLP6, prescribed under section 44(5) of the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2016 and distributed directly and unauthenticated from the Department's own downloadable-forms page (filename `NOTICE-OF-CHANGE-OF-PARTNER_LLP6.pdf`). An already-registered Limited Liability Partnership's partner(s) file this notice to report a partner's appointment and/or cessation of office, identifying the existing record by its category and registered number before stating the affected partner's own particulars and the relevant date(s). This schema does not submit the filing itself; the live source and the Department's own current requirements are always authoritative. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Mauritius or its Corporate and Business Registration Department.",
