  "description": "The Corporate and Business Registration Department (CBRD)'s \"Notice of Change of General Partner\", prescribed under section 22 of the Limited Partnerships Act 2011 and distributed directly and unauthenticated from the Department's own downloadable-forms page (filename `NOTICE-OF-CHANGE-OF-GENERAL-PARTNER_LP.pdf`). An already-registered Limited Partnership's general partner(s) file this notice to report a general partner's appointment and/or cessation of office, identifying the existing record by its category and partnership number before stating the affected general 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.",
