Mauritius Application for Removal of a Limited Liability Partnership from Register for the Purpose of Transferring its Registration to Another Country (Form S32(a)/F LLP8)

Candidate selection

GOV-4953 ("GovSchema Standard Research"). The GOV-4946 cycle (the most recent prior CBRD Mauritius cycle) left one confirmed-live, disclosed backlog item open: removal-from-register (LLP8) — re-linked on every cycle since GOV-4911 but not authored — alongside the GOV-4925-surfaced unscreened batch (an LLP7 "Registered Particulars" notice distinct from the already-authored LP7, change-of-general- partner, change-of-manager/partner (LLP6), name-reservation (LP1, LLP3), annual return (LP3), and a Foundation change-of-name form) and the two dead-linked forms (consent-of-manager, LP4 removal). LLP8 was picked as the last remaining disclosed, confirmed-live companion form from the original five-item backlog first surfaced on GOV-4911 — closing that backlog entirely — over the unscreened batch, since it carries a stronger verification history (independently re-confirmed live on GOV-4911, GOV-4918, GOV-4925, GOV-4932, and GOV-4939) than any item in the unscreened batch, none of which has been independently byte-verified since first surfaced.

Reaching the live source

This cycle re-fetched CBRD's own downloadable-forms listing fresh (https://companies.govmu.org/cbrd/downloadable-forms/, HTTP 200, 185,260 bytes) via a plain unauthenticated curl and grepped its raw HTML for the exact LLP8 filename rather than reusing a banked guess, confirming:

https://companies.govmu.org/cbrd/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/APPLICATION-FOR-REMOVAL-OF-LIMITED-LIABILITY-PARTNERSHIP-FROM-REGISTER-FOR-THE-PURPOSE-OF-TRANSFERRING-ITS-REGISTRATION-TO-ANOTHER-COUNTRY-_-LLP-8.pdf

• 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, 54,643 bytes retrieved.
• sha256 of the retrieved bytes: a80bded581b66cc12a34e5dfdfd0fa0e06dd68137697f76a392ed3a6bc5975d4.
• 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 96 positioned text items — a genuine text layer, with every printed label and blank-line dot-leader run recovered cleanly.

Authority attribution

The form's own header ("LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIPS ACT 2016", "(Section 32)", form code "S32(a)-F LLP8") 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 positional text-layer dump (each item's string plus x/y transform coordinates) reconstructed the form's row structure — the same method used on every prior CBRD sibling. Because the "Enclosed herewith:" block's exact widget type (checkbox vs. ruled line) was not determinable from text alone, a supplementary canvas render (node-canvas, 2.5x scale) was produced. The render dropped every glyph via the same Helvetica path-resolution warning documented in this registry's gov-form-pdf-extraction practice note, but the vector box/line/checkbox graphics rendered cleanly, showing:

• A single wide box (name entry), two smaller boxes side by side beneath it (Category, Registered No.), and a third centered box beneath those (proposed jurisdiction of transfer) — all confirmed boxed-entry fields, not plain ruled lines.
• Three small square checkboxes, stacked vertically with a visible gap separating the first pair from the third — confirmed to align, by y-coordinate, with the three "Enclosed herewith:" text items extracted from the text layer (checkbox 1 at documentary-evidence text y=441.07; checkbox 2 at MRA-confirmation text spanning y=413.47/385.87; checkbox 3, after the visible gap, at FSC-confirmation text spanning y=358.25/330.65). This is the first checkbox-modelled field on any CBRD schema in this registry — every prior sibling (LP7, LLP4, LLP5, LP5, LLP2, LP, LLP1, Foundation) uses only ruled free-text lines and/or a bounded-slot signature grid, never a checkbox.
• A four-row grid of dot-leader pairs at the bottom of the page (the "Partner (s)" signature block), with no checkbox or box borders, confirmed via the same render.

Document structure

Page 1 (single page):

• Header: "FOR OFFICE USE" (shaded label) over a "Document Folio" box (officer-only, not modelled) | "S 32 (a) - F LLP 8" / "LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIPS ACT 2016" (printed form reference codes, not fillable).
• Title block: "APPLICATION FOR REMOVAL OF LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP FROM REGISTER FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRANSFERRING ITS REGISTRATION TO ANOTHER COUNTRY" / "(Section 32)" — static, not modelled.
• Existing-LLP identification block: "Name of Limited Liability Partnership" (single-ruled-line box), followed by two small bordered boxes side by side — "Category" (left) and "Registered No." (right). The same two-box identification pattern already established by the LP7 and LLP4 siblings, not the three-box pattern (adding "Date of Registration") used by the LLP5/LP5 change-of-name siblings. Confirmed both by the clean text-layer extraction (no "Date of Registration" string anywhere in the 96 extracted items) and the canvas render (only two small boxes visible beneath the name entry).
• Transfer-details block: "Proposed jurisdiction of transfer" — a third, centered bordered box beneath the Category/Registered No. boxes, confirmed via the canvas render. A field genuinely unique to this form among the CBRD siblings modelled so far (no prior CBRD schema names a destination jurisdiction).
• Enclosed-documents block: "Enclosed herewith:" followed by three checkbox items — "Documentary evidence as required under section 33 and 35 of the Act.", "Written confirmation from MRA that there is no objection to the Limited Liability Partnership being removed from the register.", and "Written confirmation from Financial Services Commission in case Limited Liability Partnership hold a Category One Global Business License." The first two are stated unconditionally (modelled required); the third is explicitly conditional ("in case ... hold a Category One Global Business License") with no discriminator field printed on the form to gate on, so it is modelled optional with no requiredWhen gate — the same "don't invent an unstated discriminator field" convention already established by this registry's LP7 bounded-slot rationale and the Consent-family either/or BRN/ID No. pattern.
• Declaration block: "Partner (s)" heading, then "Full Name(s):" / "Signature(s):" column headers, followed by a four-row grid of blank dot-leader pairs, and "Date:…………………………" beneath the grid. A genuine column-order finding: this form's column headers read "Full Name(s):" at x≈58 (left) then "Signature(s):" at x≈346 (right) — the reverse of the LP7 sibling's own grid, which prints Signatures on the left (x≈72) and Full names on the right (x≈360). Confirmed independently by each item's own x-position in the 96 extracted items; modelled with partner{n}FullName preceding partner{n}Signature in both the fields array and the declaration step's field list, matching this form's own left-to-right column order (unlike LP7's schema, which lists Signature before FullName to match LP7's own reversed column order). "Partner (s)" (not "General Partner(s)") is the same LLP-Act terminology already established by the LLP4/LLP5 siblings.
• No "Presented By" block — confirmed absent by a substring search across all 96 extracted text items (no occurrence of "presented" anywhere on the page), the same absence already established by the LP7 sibling (and unlike LLP4/LLP5/LP5, which all print one). This form ends immediately after the four-row signature grid and the Date: line.
• No footer "Sheet ___ of ___" line or officer-only checkboxes were found on this form (unlike the LLP4/LLP5/LP5 siblings' footers) — confirmed by the same substring search and by visual inspection of the canvas render, which shows blank margin below the Date: line.

Conformance

No requiredWhen gates are used — every field on this form is either unconditionally required, unconditionally optional (the FSC checkbox and partner slots 2-4), or optional by the registry's established bounded-slot/unstated-discriminator convention. An ephemeral, uncommitted Node script exercised:

• 1 valid scenario: all required fields supplied (nameOfLimitedLiabilityPartnership, registeredNo, category, proposedJurisdictionOfTransfer, enclosedDocumentaryEvidence, enclosedMraConfirmation, declarationDate, partner1FullName, partner1Signature), all optional fields omitted (enclosedFscConfirmation, partner slots 2-4).
• 1 valid scenario: all 16 fields supplied (FSC checkbox true, slots 2-4 filled in).
• 9 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:

• This closes the original five-item companion/notice backlog first disclosed on the GOV-4911 cycle (LLP5, LLP4, LLP8, LP5, LP7 — all now authored). Mauritius remains at 4 of 6 verticals (a tenth schema within the already-open Business Formation vertical, not a new vertical).
• The GOV-4925-surfaced unscreened batch remains unscreened and is now the sole remaining disclosed backlog: an LLP7 "Registered Particulars" notice distinct from the already-authored LP7, change-of-general-partner, change-of-manager/partner (LLP6), name-reservation (LP1, LLP3), annual return (LP3), and a Foundation change-of-name form. None of these have been fetched or byte-verified since first surfaced; flagged here so a future cycle re-scans the listing page directly rather than relying on this write-up alone.
• Consent of Manager (LLP2 sibling form) and Application for Removal of Limited Partnership from Register (LP4) remain the two genuine dead links (HTTP 404) on the Department's own hosting 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).
