Where a person has ceased to be a partner of a limited liability partnership (in this Act referred to as “former partner”), the former partner is to be regarded, in relation to any person dealing with the limited liability partnership as still being a partner of the limited liability partnership unless—

notice that the former partner has ceased to be a partner of the limited liability partnership has been delivered to the Commission.
