Section 157: Manager of registered society: extra powers

Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 · 2008 c. 17View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 2: Regulation of Social Housing — Chapter 4: Registered providers

This section applies to a manager appointed to implement proposals relating to a registered society.

The appointment may confer on the manager power to make and execute on behalf of the society—

an instrument providing for the amalgamation of the society with another registered society, or
an instrument transferring its engagements.

An instrument providing for the amalgamation of a society ("S1") with another has the same effect as a resolution by S1 under section 109 of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (amalgamation of societies by special resolution).

An instrument transferring engagements has the same effect as a transfer of engagements under section 110 or 112 of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (transfer by special resolution to another society or company).

A copy of the instrument shall be sent to and registered by the Financial Conduct Authority.

An instrument does not take effect until the copy is registered.

The copy must be sent for registration during the period of 14 days beginning with the date of execution; but a copy registered after that period is valid.
