Section 124Q: Functions of manager etc

Communications Act 2003 · 2003 c. 21View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 2: Networks, services and the radio spectrum — Chapter 1: Electronic communications networks and services

An order under section 124P may make provision about the functions to be exercised by, and the powers of, the manager.

The order may, in particular—

provide for the manager to have such of the functions of the registry's directors as are specified in the order (including functions exercisable only by a particular director or class of directors), and
provide for one or more of the registry's directors to be prevented from exercising any of those functions.

The order may make provision about the remuneration of the manager, including in particular—

provision for the amount of the remuneration to be determined by the Secretary of State, and
provision for the remuneration to be payable from the property of the registry.

In carrying out the functions conferred by the order, the manager acts as the registry's agent.

The Secretary of State may apply to the court for directions in relation to any matter arising in connection with the functions or powers of the manager (and the costs of the application are to be paid by the registry).

On an application under subsection (5) the court may give such directions or make such orders as it thinks fit.

In this section "the court" means—

in England and Wales, the High Court or the county court,
in Scotland, the Court of Session or the sheriff, and
in Northern Ireland, the High Court.

Where the registry is a limited liability partnership, this section applies as if references to a director of the registry were references to a member of the limited liability partnership.
