to be lifted upon

There is really nothing at all wrong with the formulation in EN here, it is an absolutely standard type of wording in this type of document / context.

'Will be lifted' really means 'will be removed' rather than simply ceasing (passively) to apply — like 'lifting restrictions on fuel purchases' following a return to normal supplies.

I think "lifted" means "will cease to be apllcable" in this context but the English as it stands is not well formulated

Agree.

The problem seems to lie in the way you are parsing it; there is no element of 'lifted upon' here, you need to consider this in two halves, as 'something will be lifted' 'upon something else happening' — this use of 'upon' is typical of a certain formal style of document, particularly when what follows is a noun fomr (often a verb form in -ing); in sentences with a simpler structure, and in more everyday anguage, we would probably simply say 'when something happens' — only with complex sentence structures, that can get unwieldy.

It appears to be a standard boiler-plate phrase used:

In essence, I believe it means and you have to read and pause, "... the suspension shall be lifted (pause) upon the holder being medically examined... HTH!
