The PRA has the following functions under this Act in relation to building societies— to secure that the principal purpose of building societies remains that of making loans which are secured on residential property and are funded substantially by their members; to administer the system of regulation of building societies provided by or under this Act, but only in so far as sections 5, 6, 7 and 9A confer functions on the PRA; and The FCA and the PRA also have , in relation to such societies, the other functions conferred on them respectively by or under this Act or any other enactment. There shall be charged on building societies such a general charge towards the expenses of the Commission and such fees in respect of the exercise of its functions as are authorised under this section. The Treasury may, by regulations, make provision for— a general charge to be levied, with respect to each accounting year of the Commission, on every authorised building society to be paid at such rate computed by reference to such criteria, at such time and in such manner as may be prescribed; and fees of such amounts as may be prescribed to be paid by building societies in respect of the exercise of the Commission’s functions in relation to them. The provision to be made from time to time under subsection (2) above, by way of the general charge and fees, shall be such as to produce an annual revenue of the Commission sufficient to meet its expenses properly chargeable to revenue account, taking one year with another. Regulations under subsection (2) above may include— provision for any fees payable by societies to be reduced or for payment of any fees to be waived by the Commission in circumstances determined by or under the regulations; and such incidental, supplementary and transitional provision as appears to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient. The power to make regulations under subsection (2) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. The amounts received by the Commission under this section shall be applied as an appropriation in aid of money provided by Parliament for the expenses of the Commission under this Act, and in so far as not so applied, shall be paid into the Consolidated Fund. In this section— “authorised”, in relation to an accounting year of the Commission, means authorised at any time during that year; and “prescribed” means prescribed in regulations under subsection (2) above. The Commission shall keep proper accounts and proper accounting records and shall prepare in respect of each accounting year a statement of accounts in such form as the Treasury may direct. The statement of the accounts required by subsection (1) above may be combined with the statement of the accounts of the Chief Registrar which he is required to prepare as regards his functions. The Commission shall send to the Treasury and to the Comptroller and Auditor General, before the end of the period of seven months after the end of each accounting year, a copy of the statement of accounts for that year. The Comptroller and Auditor General shall examine, certify and report on every statement of accounts received by him from the Commission and shall lay a copy of the statement and of his report thereon before each House of Parliament. In this Part “accounting year”, in relation to the Commission, means the period of twelve months ending with 31st March in any year, except that the Commission’s first accounting year shall end on 31st March 1987. It shall be the duty of the Commission to lay before the Treasury and before Parliament as soon as possible after the end of each accounting year a report on the discharge of its functions during that year. The Commission may lay before Parliament from time to time such other reports relating to the discharge of its functions, whether in relation to building societies generally or a particular building society, as it thinks fit. A society may be established under this Act if (and only if) it complies with the following requirements, namely— its purpose or principal purpose is that of making loans which are secured on residential property and are funded substantially by its members; and its principal office is in the United Kingdom. A society is established under this Act on compliance by the persons establishing it with the scheduled requirements and is incorporated under this Act as from the date of registration by the FCA . A society incorporated under this Act is referred to in this Act as a “building society”. A society incorporated under the repealed enactments whose principal office, as registered with the central office immediately before the commencement of this section, was in the United Kingdom, shall be deemed to be registered (and accordingly as incorporated) under this Act. If, after its establishment, a building society fails to comply with the requirements imposed by subsection (1)(a) or (b) above— the powers conferred on the appropriate authority by section 36 or 37 shall become exercisable in relation to the society; but the failure shall not affect the validity of any transaction or other act.

A building society shall secure that the difference between— the value of X on any quarter day; and the value of Y on that day or the value of Y on the immediately preceding quarter day, whichever is the greater, does not exceed 25 per cent of that value of X. For the purposes of subsection (1) above— X = the difference between the total assets of the society and any subsidiary undertakings of the society as shown in the society’s accounts and the aggregate of— the liquid assets of the society and any such undertakings as shown in those accounts ...; the fixed assets of the society and any such undertakings as so shown; and where any such undertakings are effecting or carrying out contracts of insurance, such of their assets as shown in those accounts as represent long term insurance funds; and Y = the principal of, and interest accrued on, loans which are owed to the society or any subsidiary undertaking of the society and are fully secured on residential property; and for the purposes of this subsection the total assets of a society and any subsidiary undertakings of the society shall be taken to be increased by the amount of any provision made for bad or doubtful debts of the society or any such undertaking. Any loans owed to the society or any subsidiary undertaking of the society shall be disregarded for the purposes of the definition of “Y” in subsection (2) above to the extent that they are not included in the total assets of the society and any such undertakings as shown in the society’s accounts. Any reference in subsection (2) or (3) above to anything being shown in a society’s accounts shall be construed— in relation to a quarter day on which a financial year of the society ends, as a reference to its being shown in the accounts prepared by the society for that year; in relation to any other quarter day, as a reference to its being shown in the accounts which would have been prepared by the society for the year ending on that day if that year were a financial year of the society. If a building society fails to comply with the requirement imposed by subsection (1) above— the powers conferred on the appropriate authority by section 36 shall become exercisable in relation to the society; but The Treasury may by order substitute for the percentage specified in subsection (1) above such greater percentage (not greater than 40 per cent) as appears to them to be appropriate; and an order under this subsection may make such supplementary, transitional and saving provision as appears to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient. The Treasury may, by order— modify subsections (2) and (3) above in their application to assets of subsidiary undertakings; apply those subsections to corresponding assets of associated undertakings; or modify those subsections in their application to such assets. An order under subsection (7) above may make— different provision for different circumstances; provision for particular assets of undertakings to be disregarded; and such supplementary, transitional and saving provision as appears to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient.

Where a loan is owed to a lending syndicate of which a building society or connected undertaking of a building society is a member, so much of the loan as is referable to the society’s or undertaking’s participation in the syndicate shall be treated for the purposes of this section and sections 6A and 6B as a loan owed to the society or undertaking.

An order under subsection (2) or (4) above may make such incidental, supplementary and transitional provision as appears to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient.

Advances secured on land may, in accordance with sections 11 and 12— be fully or partly secured by a mortgage of the legal estate or equitable interest in land in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, or be fully secured by a heritable security over land in Scotland, and in this Part “the basic security” means the security constituted by the legal estate in or heritable security over the land or, in a case where an equitable interest in land in England and Wales or Northern Ireland is or is also taken as security by virtue of this section, that constituted by that security or, as the case may be, the combined securities; and a reference to the land which is to secure an advance or on which an advance is secured is a reference to the estate or interest or the heritable security which constitutes or will constitute the basic security. The power to make an advance secured on land includes power, subject to the restriction imposed by subsection (4) below, to make, as a separate advance, an advance which is to be applied in or towards payment of the deposit for the purchase of the land (in this Part referred to as “an advance for a deposit for the purchase of land.”) The restriction referred to is that an advance for a deposit for the purchase of land must not exceed 10 per cent. of the total amount to be paid for the purchase of the land. The power to make an advance secured on land includes power to make an advance which is secured as mentioned in subsection (1) above by virtue of security granted otherwise than by the borrower (in this Act referred to as “an advance secured on third party land”). An advance shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as secured by a mortgage of a legal estate in registered land in England and Wales or Northern Ireland notwithstanding that the advance is made before the mortgagor is registered as proprietor of the estate. A building society may advance money on the security of an equitable interest in land in England and Wales or Northern Ireland if the equitable interest is an equitable interest in land of a description and is created in circumstances prescribed in an order made by the Commission with the consent of the Treasury under this subsection and any conditions prescribed in the order are complied with. Any powers conferred on building societies by an order under subsection (6) above may be conferred on building societies of a description specified in the order or all building societies other than those of a description so specified. The power to make an order under subsection (6) above includes power— to prescribe the circumstances in which the power conferred by section 17(10) on building societies of the description specified therein is to be available to them; and to make such incidental, supplementary and transitional provision as the Commission considers necessary or expedient. An instrument containing an order under subsection (6) above shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. The power to make advances secured on land includes power to make them on terms that include provision as respects the capital element in the mortgage debt (with or without similar provision as respects the interest element)— that the amount due to the society may be adjusted from time to time by reference to such public index of prices other than housing prices as is specified in the mortgage; that the amount due to the society may be adjusted from time to time by reference to such public index of housing prices as is specified in the mortgage; that the amount due to the society at any time shall be determined by reference to a share, specified or referred to in the mortgage, in the open market value of the property at that time; and, in cases where the amount due to the society in respect of capital exceeds the amount advanced, references in this Act to the repayment of an advance include references to payment of the excess. Advances secured on land shallbe classified for the purposes of the requirements of this Part for the structure of commercial assets into— class 1 advances, and class 2 advances; and in this Act “advances fully secured on land” means advances which are class 1 or class 2 advances, and any reference to “fully secured” shall be construed accordingly. Nothing in this section or section 11 or 12 is to be taken as precluding a society from taking other security for an advance secured on land than such security as is required for an advance to be a class 1 or class 2 advance under those sections; but the value of the other security shall be disregarded for the purpose of classifying the advance as a class 1 or class 2 advance. The provisions of this section and section 12 define what is a class 1 advance and what is a class 2 advance for the purpose of the requirements of this Part for the structure of commercial assets and when an advance may, for those purposes, be treated partly as a class 1 advance and partly as a class 2 advance. Class 1 advances are advances as to which the society when it makes the advance is satisfied that the advance is an advance secured on land and that— the borrower is an individual; where the advance is not an advance secured on third party land,the land is for the residential use of the borrower or a dependant of his of a prescribed description; where the advance is an advance secured on third party land— the borrower intends that the advance will be used for the purpose of acquiring land for the residential use of himself or a dependant of his of a prescribed description; and the land on which the advance is secured is for the residential use of the mortgagor or a dependant of his of a prescribed description; the amount advanced will not exceed the value of the basic security (after deducting from that value any outstanding amount secured by a mortgage of the land in favour of the society); and subject to subsection (5) below, no other mortgage of the land which is to secure the advance is outstanding in favour of a person other than the society; and which are not made on terms as respects the capital element of the mortgage debt authorised by section 10(10)(b) or (c). Subject to any order made under section 12(1), the requirement in subsection (2)(b) above shall be treated as satisfied if no less than 40 per cent. of the area of the land is used for the residential purposes by the borrower or a dependant of his of a prescribed description; the requirement in subsection (2)(ba)(i) above shall be treated as satisfied if the borrower intends that no less than 40 per cent. of the area of the land will be for the residential use of himself or a dependant of his of a prescribed description; and the requirement in subsection (2)(ba)(ii) above shall be treated as satisfied if no less than 40 per cent. of the area of the land is used for residential purposes by the mortgagor or a dependant of his of a prescribed description. Class 2 advances are advances as to which the society when it makes the advance— either is not satisfied that the requirements for the time being of subsection (2) above are fulfilled or is satisfied that any of them is not fulfilled, but is satisfied that the advance is an advance secured on land, and is satisfied, where the amount advanced will exceed the value of the basic security (after deducting from that value any outstanding amount secured by a mortgage of the land), that the excess will be secured by the taking of security of a prescribed description in addition to the basic security, and is satisfied that no, or no more than one, other mortgage of the land which is to secure the advance is outstanding in favour of a person other than the society. The requirement in subsection (2)(d) and (4)(d) above shall be treated as satisfied if the advance is made on terms that the other mortgage is redeemed or postponed to the basic security. An advance for a deposit for the purchase of land is also a class 1 or class 2 advance according as it is made with a view to the making of a class 1 or class 2 advance secured on the land. Advances which would be class 2, and not class 1, advances by reason only that the extent of the residential use of the land is not such as to satisfy the requirement in subsection (2)(b) or (2)(ba)(i) or (ii) above shall be treated as class 1 advances if and to the extent prescribed by an order under section 12(5).

For the purposes of the requirements of this Part for the structure of commercial assets— class 1 advances constitute class 1 assets, and class 2 advances constitute class 2 assets, and accordingly the aggregate amount of mortgage debts outstanding in respect of class 2 advances counts in accordance with section 20 towards the limit applicable to class 2 assets under that section. For the purposes of subsections (2) and (4) above, where a building society makes an advance by instalments, any reference to the time when the society makes the advance is a reference to the time when it pays the first of the instalments, disregarding for this purpose any instalment which is to be applied towards payment of the deposit in respect of the purchase of the land which is to secure the advance. Subject to subsection (11) below, any land to which a building society becomes absolutely entitled by foreclosure or by release or other extinguishment of a right of redemption— shall as soon as may be conveniently practicable be sold or converted into money; and shall, until the sale or conversion, constitute a class 1 asset if the advance secured on the land was a class 1 advance and a class 2 asset if it was a class 2 advance. Where a building society which has for the time being adopted the powers conferred by section 17 becomes entitled to land as mentioned in subsection (10) above, and the land is land that may be held under that section, then, if the society— elects to hold the land under that section, or without such an election, retains the land after the expiry of the period of twelve months immediately following the date on which it so becomes entitled to the land. the society shall be taken to hold the land under that section. An election under subsection (11) above shall be made by resolution of the board of directors and shall be irrevocable. If a building society contravenes subsection (10) above the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. For the purposes of this Act, the mortgage debt at any time, in relation to an advance secured on land, is the total amount outstanding at that time in respect of— the principal of the advance; interest on the advance; and any other sum which the borrower is obliged to pay the society under the terms of the advance. The reference in subsection (10) above to land to which a building society becomes absolutely entitled by foreclosure includes a reference to land which a building society has acquired by virtue of a decree of foreclosure under section 28 of the Conveyancing and Feudal Reform (Scotland) Act 1970. The Commission, by order in a statutory instrument, may as respects class 1 advances— specify the circumstances in which land is for a person’s residential use, specify who are to be a person’s dependants, and make such other incidental and supplementary and such transitional provision as the Commission considers necessary or expedient, for the purposes of section 11(2); and in that subsection “prescribed” means prescribed in an order under this subsection. Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1)(c) above, an order may prescribe evidence on which a building society is to be entitled to be satisfied (in the absence of evidence to the contrary) that the requirements of section 11(2) are fulfilled as respects an advance secured on land. The Commission, by order in a statutory instrument, may as respects class 2 advances— specify descriptions of security falling within this subsection which, for the purposes of paragraph (c) of section 11(4), may be taken for class 2 advances in addition to the basic security; and make such other incidental or supplementary and such transitional provision as it considers necessary or expedient for the purposes of paragraph (c) or (d) of that subsection; and in that subsection “prescribed” means prescribed in an order under this subsection. The descriptions of additional security which fall within subsection (3)(a) above are guarantees, indemnities or other contractual promises made by virtue of, or by a public body established by or under, any enactment for the time being in force. The Commission, by order in a statutory instrument, may, as respects advances to be secured on land which is to any extent to be used for the residential use of borrowers or persons who are dependants of theirs for the purposes of section 11(2)— require so much of the amount to be advanced as is determined by or under the order to be treated as a class 1 advance; specify the circumstances in which and the conditions subject to which advances are to be so treated; and make such incidental, supplementary and transitional provision as the Commission considers necessary or expedient. Subsection (5) above shall also apply as respects advances secured on third party land which is to any extent used for the residential use of mortgagors or persons who are dependants of theirs for the purposes of section 11(2). The Commission shall not make an order under this section, except with the consent of the Treasury. An instrument containing an order under this section shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. For the purpose of facilitating the repayment to a building society of a class 1 advance or a class 2 advance, the society may make to the borrower, by way of addition to the advance, a further advance of or towards the cost of a single premium payable in respect of an appropriate policy of life assurance; and a sum added to an advance under this subsection shall be treated as not forming part of the advance for the purpose of determining whether the requirements of section 11(2) or (4) are satisfied with respect to the advance. Where an advance secured on land in England and Wales or Northern Ireland is made, then, for the purpose of determining whether the land is subject to a prior mortgage for the purposes of section 11(2)(d) or (4)(d) above, any outstanding charge over the land which is registered— in the case of land in England and Wales, in the appropriate local land charges register, and in the case of land in Northern Ireland, in the statutory charges register under section 87 of, and Schedule 11 to, the Land Registration Act (Northern Ireland) 1970, shall be disregarded. If at any time when a class 1 advance or a class 2 advance secured on land is outstanding the building society— is satisfied on a revaluation that the value of the basic security has changed, is satisfied that so much of the mortgage debt as represents the principal of the advance has changed, in the case of an advance which is not an advance secured on third party landis satisfied on notice given to it by the borrower that there has been a change in the use of the land, in the case of an advance which is an advance secured on third party land— is satisfied on notice given to it by the borrower that there has been a change in the use of the land acquired with the advance, or is satisfied on notice given to it by the mortgagor that there has been a change in the use of the land on which the advance is secured, or agrees to a change in the relative priority of the mortgage on which the advance is secured, and is satisfied that the change is such that, if it were to make an advance equal to the mortgage debt at that time, the advance would instead be a class 2 advance or a class 1 advance, as the case may be, the advance shall be reclassified as from that time. Nothing in subsection (10) above requires a building society to revalue its securities from time to time. Every building society shall establish and maintain a system to ensure the safe custody of all documents relating to property mortgaged to the society. In this section “appropriate policy of life assurance”, with reference to an advance, means a policy of insurance which satisfies the following requirements, that is to say— the life assured is that of the person to whom the advance is made or his spouse, his son or his daughter, and it provides, in the event of the death, before the advance has been repaid, of the person on whose life the policy is effected, for payment of a sum not exceeding the amount sufficient to defray the sums which are, at and after the time of the death, payable to the society in respect of the advance and any addition made in respect of the premium. It shall be the duty of every director of a building society to satisfy himself that the arrangements made for assessing the adequacy of the security for any advance to be fully secured on land which is to be made by the society are such as may reasonably be expected to ensure that— an assessment will be made on the occasion of each advance whether or not any previous assessment was made with a view to further advances or re-advances; each assessment will be made by a person holding office in or employed by the society who is competent to make the assessment and is not disqualified under this section from making it; each person making the assessment will have furnished to him a written report on the value of the land and any factors likely materially to affect its value made by a person who is competent to value, and is not disqualified under this section from making a report on, the land in question; but the arrangements need not require each report to be made with a view to a particular assessment so long as it is adequate for the purpose of making the assessment. In relation to any land which is to secure an advance, the following persons are disqualified from making a report on its value, that is to say— the directors and any other officer or employee of the society who makes assessments of the adequacy of securities for advances secured on land or who authorises the making of such advances; where the society has made, or undertaken to make, to any person a payment for introducing to it an applicant for the advance, that person; where the advance is to be made following a disposition of the land, any person having a financial interest in the disposition of the land and any director, other officer or employee of his or of an associated employer; . . . where the advance is to be made following a disposition of the land, any person receiving a commission for introducing the parties to the transaction involving the disposition and any director, other officer or employee of his. where the advance is to be made in connection with a disposition of other land to the borrower, any person having a financial interest in the disposition of the other land and any director, other officer or employee of his or of an associated employer; and where the advance is to be made in connection with a disposition of other land to the borrower, any person receiving a commission for introducing the parties to the transaction involving the disposition and any director, other officer or employee of his. In relation to any land which is to secure an advance where the advance is to be made following a disposition of the land or in connection with a disposition of other land to the borrower, the following persons are disqualified from making an assessment of the security or authorising the making of the advance, that is to say— any person, other than the building society making the advance, having a financial interest in the disposition . . . and any director, other officer or employee of his or of an associated employer; and any person receiving a commission for introducing the parties to the transaction involving the disposition and any director, other officer or employee of his. Any person who, being disqualified from doing so— makes a report on any land which is to secure an advance, makes an assessment of the adequacy of the security for an advance, or authorises the making of an advance, and in the case of a person making a report does so knowing or having reason to believe that the report will be used or is likely to be used for the purposes of the advance, shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. For the purposes of this section, any two employers are associated if one is a body corporate of which the other (directly or indirectly) has control or if both are bodies corporate of which a third person directly or indirectly has control; and the expression “associated employer” shall be construed accordingly. In this section “commission” includes any gift, bonus or benefit and, for its purposes, a person shall be taken to have a financial interest in the disposition of any land if, but only if, he would, on a disposition of that land, be entitled (whether directly or indirectly, and whether in possession or not) to the whole or part of the proceeds of the disposition. The appropriate authority may, with a view to conferring on building societies or building societies of particular descriptions powers to make advances to members secured on land outside the United Kingdom corresponding to the powers to make advances secured on land within the United Kingdom, by order— designate countries or territories outside the United Kingdom as countries or territories as respects which advances under this section may be made secured on the land; specify, or provide for the specification by direction of the Commission under the order of, the forms of security on land which may be taken for advances under this section, in any prescribed circumstances and subject to any prescribed conditions; determine, or provide for the determination under the order of, the classification of the advances (and accordingly of the mortgage debts) as class 1 advances or class 2 advances for the purposes of the requirements of this Part for the structure of commercial assets; provide for the application of the provisions of this Part applicable to advances secured on land to advances under this section with such modifications as appear to be appropriate; provide for any other provisions of this Act to have effect in relation to advances under this section with such modifications as appear to be appropriate; and make such incidental, supplemental or transitional provision as appears to be necessary or expedient. Any powers conferred on building societies under this section may be conferred on building societies of a specified description or all building societies other than those of a specified description. Where, by virtue of an order under subsection (1) above, advances are made by a building society on the security of land outside the United Kingdom, the aggregate amount of mortgage debts outstanding in respect of such of those advances as are class 2 advances under the order shall count in accordance with section 20 towards the limit applicable to class 2 assets under that section. Subsection (3) above is subject to any provision contained in the order. The “appropriate authority” for making an order under subsection (1) above is— as regards the relevant British overseas territories, the Commission acting with the consent of the Treasury, and as regards other countries or territories, the Treasury. An order under this section made as regards any of the relevant British overseas territories may make all or any of the powers conferred thereby exercisable by building societies without the need for adoption, but, in the absence of such a provision any power conferred under this section must, in order to be exercisable by a building society, be adopted by the society. The power to make an order under subsection (1) above is exercisable by statutory instrument and, as regards the procedure applicable to such an order,— if the instrument designates other countries or territories than any of the relevant British overseas territories, the order shall not be made unless a draft of it has been laid before and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament, and if the instrument designates any relevant British overseas territory and no other country or territory, the instrument shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. “relevant British overseas territories” means the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and Gibraltar; “security on land” includes any right or power in or over land to secure the payment of a debt and “secured on land” has a corresponding meaning; “specified” means specified in an order under subsection (1) above; and any reference to a provision of this Part is a reference to that provision as applied to advances under this section. Subject to subsection (2) below, a building society may participate in syndicated lending— as a member of the lending syndicate, or as a person whose rights as a participant arise under an arrangement with a member of the lending syndicate (“a sub-participant”). Subsection (1) above only applies if— the syndicated lending is appropriately secured, and where the society’s participation is as a sub-participant, the society’s rights as such a participant are appropriately secured. The Commission may, with the consent of the Treasury, by order— make provision with respect to what constitutes appropriate security for the purposes of subsection (2)(a) or (b) above; make provision with respect to the classification, for the purposes of the requirements of this Part for the structure of commercial assets, of a society’s participation under this section in syndicated lending; and provide for the application of the provisions of this Part, with such modifications as appear to the Commission to be appropriate, to a society’s participation under this section in syndicated lending. The power conferred by subsection (3) above shall be exercisable by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. A building society may only exercise the power conferred by this section if it has adopted it. Subject to the provisions of this section, a building society may make mobile home loans to individuals, whether or not they are members of the society. A mobile home loan is a loan made for the purchase of a mobile home and secured by such security as the Commission may, with the consent of the Treasury, prescribe by order in a statutory instrument. No such loan shall be made unless the building society, when it makes the loan, is satisfied that— the borrower or a dependant of his of a prescribed description is or will be entitled under an agreement to which the Mobile Homes Act 1983 applies to station the mobile home on land forming part of a protected site; the mobile home is for the residential use of the borrower or a dependent of his of a prescribed description; the amount lent will not exceed the amount likely to be realised on a sale of the mobile home on the open market; and subject to subsection (4) below, no other security prescribed under subsection (2) above which is to secure the loan is outstanding in favour of a person other than the society. The requirement in subsection (3)(d) above shall be treated as satisfied if the loan is made on terms that the other loan is redeemed or postponed to it. A building society shall not make a mobile home loan to an individual if the principal exceeds— the limit for the time being imposed by or under subsection (7) below; or the balance remaining after deducting from that limit the aggregate of any other sums outstanding in respect of loans made under this section or section 16 by the society to that individual and any facility limits agreed for the time being between the society and that individualand also the cost of leasable chattels bailed under any current leasing agreement between the society and that individual; and if two or more loans under this section or this section and section 16 are made simultaneously by the society to the same individual they shall be treated for the purposes of this subsection as a single loan of an amount equal to the aggregate of the principal of each of those loans. Joint borrowers under this section shall be treated, for the purpose of the limit on loans under this section, as a single individual and any sums outstanding in respect of loans made under this section or section 16 by the society to any one of the joint borrowers and also the cost of leasable chattels bailed under any current leasing agreement between the society and any one of the joint borrowers are to be taken into account in determining the balance available for any further loan to him or to him and any joint borrower with him , and so is any facility limit which is agreed for the time being between the society and any one of the joint borrowers. The limit on loans to any one individual under this section is £10,000 or such sum as the Commission may, with the consent of the Treasury, specify by order in a statutory instrument. Loans under this section constitute class 3 assets for the purposes of the requirements of this Part for the structure of commercial assets and accordingly the aggregate of the amounts outstanding in respect of— the principal of loans under this section, the interest on those loans, and any other sums which borrowers are obliged to pay the society under the terms of those loans, counts in accordance with section 20 towards the limits applicable to class 3 assets under that section. The power conferred by this section is not available to a building society which does not for the time being have a qualitying asset holding, but the cessation of its availability does not require the disposal of any property or rights. The power conferred by this section on a building society, if available to it, must in order to be exercisable, be adopted by the society. An instrument containing an order under subsection (2) or (7) above shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. “facility limit” has the meaning which it has for the purposes of the Building Societies (Limited Credit Facilities) Order 1987; “leasable chattels”, “bailed” and “leasing agreement” have the meanings which they respectively bear in Part III of Schedule 1 to the Building Societies (Commercial Assets and Services) Order 1988 and “cost”, in respect of any leasable chattel bailed by a building society, means the price at which it was acquired by the society; “mobile home” has the same meaning as “caravan” in Part I of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960; “prescribed”, in relation to descriptions of dependants of borrowe rs, means such as are for the time being prescribed in an order under section 12(1) as respects class 1 advances; and “protected site” has the same meaning as in the Mobile Homes Act 1983. Subject to the provisions of this section, a building society may, with or without security and whether or not at interest, lend money to individuals, whether or not they are members of the society. Advances fully secured on land do not constitute loans under this section except that an advance for a deposit for the purchase of land shall, if the purchase is not completed within the period of six months beginning with the date of the advance, be treated after the end of that period as a loan under this section and shall accordingly cease to be a class 1 or class 2 advance. Mobile home loans do not constitute loans under this section and neither do bridging loans made under Part IV of Schedule 1 to the Building Societies (Commercial Assets and Services) Order 1988. The power to lend money under this section includes power, as regards members of and depositors with the society, to lend on overdraft on such terms as the society thinks fit. Subject to subsection (9) below a building society shall not make a loan to an individual under this section if the principal exceeds— the limit for the time being imposed by or under subsection (8) below; or the balance remaining after deducting from that limit the aggregate of any other sums outstanding in respect of loans made under this section by the society to that individual and any facility limits agreed for the time being between the society and that individualand also the cost of leasable chattels bailed under any current leasing agreement between the society and that individual; and if two or more loans under thissection or this section and section 15 are made simultaneously by the society to the same individual they shall be treated for the purposes of this subsection as, in the case of loans under this section, a single loan of an amount equal to the aggregate of the principal of each of those loans and, in the case of loans under this section and section 15, as made on different occasions such that loans under section precede those made under that section. Subsection (5) above shall have effect (subject to subsection (9) below) in a case where a building society has made a loan under section 15 as if it precluded a building society from making a loan to an individual under this section if the principal exceeds— the limit referred to in paragraph (a) of it; or the balance referred to in paragraph (b) of it; or the balance remaining after deducting from the limit imposed by or under subsection (7) of that section the aggregate of any sums outstanding in respect of loans made under that section and under this section by the society to that individual and any facility limits agreed for the time being between the society and that individualand also the cost of leasable chattels bailed under any current leasing agreement between the society and that individual. Joint borrowers under this section shall be treated, for the purpose of the limit on loans under this section, as a single individual and any sums outstanding in respect of loans made under this section or section 15 by the society to any one of the joint borrowers and also the cost of leasable chattels bailed under any current leasing agreement between the society and any one of the joint borrowers are to be taken into account in determining the balance available for any further loan to him or to him and any joint borrower with him , and so is any facility limit which is agreed for the time being between the society and any one of the joint borrowers. The limit on loans to any one individual under this section is £5,000 or such other sum as the Commission may, with the consent of the Treasury, specify by order in a statutory instrument. The limit on loans to any one individual under this section does not apply to an advance for a deposit for the purchase of land which has come to be treated as a loan under this section and accordingly no account shall be taken of it for the purposes of subsection (5) above. An order under subsection (8) above may specify different sums as the limit in relation to individuals in different circumstances. the interest on those loans,and The power conferred by this section is not available to a building society which does not for the time being have a qualifying asset holding, but the cessation of its availability does not require the disposal of any property or rights. The powers conferred by this section on a building society, if available to it, must, in order to be exercisable, be adopted by the society. An instrument containing an order under subsection (8) above shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. If at any time when a loan under this section which is secured by a mortgage of any land is outstanding, the building society is satisfied— on a revaluation, that the value of the security has changed, where the mortgage is granted by the borrower, on notice given to it by the borrower that there has been a change in the use of the land, where the mortgage is granted otherwise than by the borrower and the loan has been used to purchase land— on notice given to it by the borrower that there has been a change in the use of the land purchased, or on notice given to it by the mortgagor that there has been a change in the use of the mortgaged land, or on notice given to it— where the mortgage is granted by the borrower, by him, and where the mortgage is granted otherwise than by the borrower, by the mortgagor, that there has been a change in the relative priority of the mortgage and that the change is such that, if it were to make a loan equal to the mortgage debt at that time and on that security, the loan would be a class 1 advance or, as the case may be, a class 2 advance, then the outstanding loan shall be reclassified as from that time. Nothing in subsection (15) above requires a building society to revalue its securities from time to time. “facility limit” has the meaning which it bears in the Building Societies (Limited Credit Facilities) Order 1987; and “leasable chattels”, “bailed” and “leasing agreement” have the meanings which they respectively bear in Part III of Schedule 1 to the Building Societies (Commercial Assets and Services) Order 1988 and “cost”, in respect of any leasable chattel bailed by a building society, means the price at which it was acquired by the society. Subject to subsections (2), (9) and (11) below, a building society may acquire, hold and dispose of land in the United Kingdom for purposes other than those for which it may acquire, hold or dispose of land under section 6 or 10. Land may not be acquired or held or disposed of by way of lease under this section except where the land is or is to be used— primarily for residential purposes, or for purposes incidental to the use of adjoining land held or to be held by the society which is or is to be used primarily for residential purposes. A building society may develop or participate in developing for use for residential purposes or purposes connected with the residential use of land any land it holds under this section. If land acquired under this section ceases to be used for the purposes authorised by subsection (2) above the society shall sell its estate or interest in the land as soon as it is conveniently practicable without undue loss to the society. Land held under this section constitutes a class 3 asset for the purposes of the requirements of this Part for the structure of commercial assets and accordingly the aggregate value of all land so held counts in accordance with section 20 towards the limits applicable to class 3 assets under that section. Premises held under section 6, by virtue of subsection (5) of that section, shall, in prescribed circumstances, be treated in their entirety (and regardless of their use) as land held under this section for the purposes of the requirements of this Part for the structure of commercial assets and subsection (5) above applies accordingly. The Commission, with the consent of the Treasury, may by order made by statutory instrument make such provision for the purposes of subsection (6) above as it thinks fit and in that subsection “prescribed” means prescribed in an order under this subsection. An instrument containingan order under subsection (7) above shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. Except as provided in subsection (10) below, the powers conferred by this section are not available to a building society which does not for the time being have a qualifying asset holding, but the cessation of their availability does not require the disposal of any property or rights. A building society which does not for the time being have a qualifying asset holding may acquire, hold and dispose of land which is or is to be used for residential purposes if the purpose of the acquisition and holding of the land is to enable the society to make advances on the security of equitable interests in the land in the circumstances authorised by an order under section 10(6). The powers conferred by this section on a building society, if available to it, must in order to be exercisable, be adopted by the society. Subject to the following provisions of this section, a building society may— acquire and hold shares or corresponding membership rights in bodies corporate and form or take part in forming bodies corporate, and provide bodies corporate in which it holds shares or such rights or to which it is, for the purpose of any power under this section, linked by resolution with any of the following supporting services— loans of money, with or without security and whether or not at interest, grants of money, whether or not repayable, guarantees of the discharge of their liabilities, and the use of services or property, whether or not for payment; and in this section “invest” means the exercise of any of the powers conferred by paragraph (a) and “support” means the exercise of any of the powers conferred by paragraph (b) above. A building society may invest in or support the following bodies corporate (referred to as “qualifying bodies”) but no others, that is to say— companies or industrial and provident societies; bodies formed in another member State for the purpose of carrying on in another member State businesses which consist wholly or mainly in lending money on the security of land and do not (where that is not the whole business) include lending on land in the United Kingdom (referred to as “corresponding European bodies”), and bodies corporate (whether or not falling within paragraph (a) or (b) above) designated as suitable for investment and support or for support for the purposes of this section by an order (referred to as “a designation order”) made by the Commission with the consent of the Treasury. A designation order may— designate a particular body or designate descriptions of bodies corporate, make different provision for different descriptions of building society, determine, or provide for the determination under the order of, the extent to which, the purposes for which, and the conditions subject to which, investment or support is permitted, and make such transitional and consequential provision as the Commission considers necessary or expedient. Subject to subsection (5) below, a building society shall not invest in or support a qualifying body so as to enable that body on its own account, in the United Kingdom, to— lend money to members of the public on the security of land by loans corresponding to advances secured on land, accept deposits of money otherwise than in such circumstances that their acceptance would not constitute its business a deposit-taking business or in the course of or for the purposes of providing a service for the time being specified in Part I of Schedule 8 to this Act; but, subject to that, it may invest in or support a qualifying body so as to enable that body to carry on any activity which it is within the powers of the society to carry on, but, subject to subsection (5) below, no others. In the case of a qualifying body designated, or included in a description of bodies designated, by a designation order a building society may also invest in or support it for such purposes as are permitted by or under the designation order. Subject to subsection (7) and (8) below, a building society shall not invest in or support a qualifying body whose objects enable it— to carry on activities which are outside the powers of the society, to invest in other bodies corporate, or to support other bodies corporate; but this does not imply that it is unlawful for the society to complete the performance of any contractual obligations lawfully incurred in providing a supporting service. Subsection (6) above shall not operate so as to restrict a building society’s powers under this section in relation to a corresponding European body. Subsection (6) above shall not prevent a building society from investing in or supporting a qualifying body— if that body is, in relation to the society, a designated body and the investment or support is made in accordance with the designation order, if, not being a body whose objects enable it to carry on activities outside the powers of the society, the investment or support is made or given with the consent of the Commission and subject to any conditions specified in the instrument giving the consent, or for a period of three months, pending the alteration of the objects of that body. and that subsection shall not prevent a building society from investing in a qualifying body if the shares or corresponding membership rights in that body would, by virtue of an order under section 19, constitute class 3 assets in the hands of the society. For the purposes of any power conferred by this section a body corporate is “linked by resolution” to a building society if the board of directors of the society has passed a resolution making that power exercisable in relation to that body and the resolution is in force. No power to invest in or support a corresponding European body is available to a building society which does not for the time being have a qualifying asset holding, but the cessation of its availability by virtue of this subsection does not require the disposal of any property or rights. The powers conferred by this section on a building society, if available to it, must, in order to be exercisable, be adopted by the society and must be adopted in their entirety without any restriction except a restriction with reference to the description of body corporate in relation to which the powers to invest in or support are to be exercisable. A building society whose board of directors has passed a resolution in pursuance of subsection (9) above shall send three copies of a record of the resolution signed by the secretary of the society to the central office and paragraph 4(3), (4) and (5) of Schedule 2 to this Act shall apply as it applies to a record of the alteration of a building society’s powers. Where the board of directors of a building society passes a resolution rescinding a resolution passed in pursuance of subsection (9) above the society shall send three copies of a record of the rescinding resolution signed by the secretary of the society to the central office and paragraph 4(3), (4) and (5) of Schedule 2 to this Act shall apply as it applies to a record of the alteration of a building society’s powers, but subject to subsection (14) below. No rescinding resolution shall be registered without the consent of the Commission. Where, by virtue of this section, property is held by a building society the property shall constitute class 3 assets for the purposes of the requirements of this Part for the structure of commercial assets and"accordingly the aggregate value of the property shall count in accordance with section 20 towards the limits applicable to class 3 assets under that section. The power to make an order under subsection (2)(c) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. “company” means a company within the meaning of the Companies Act 1985 or the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986; “corresponding membership rights”, in relation to a body corporate, means such rights (other than rights arising from the holding of shares) as are attributable to membership of the body; “deposit” and “deposit-taking business” have the same meaning as in the Banking Act 1987; “industrial and provident society” means a society registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1965 or, in Northern Ireland, the Industrial and Provident Societies Act (Northern Ireland) 1969; “property” includes rights of any description; and in this Act “associated body”, in relation to a building society, means a body as respects which any of the following conditions is satisfied, that is to say— the body is one in which the society holds shares or corresponding membership rights, or the body is one to which the society is linked by resolution, or the body is one in which, by virtue of subsection (8)(b) above, shares or corresponding membership rights are held by a body which falls within (i) or (ii) above; and “associated” shall be construed accordingly. The Treasury may, with a view to extending or altering, or extending to other descriptions of building societies, the forms of property which are to constitute class 3 assets in the hands of building societies or building societies of particular descriptions, by order— specify forms of property which a building society is to have power to acquire, hold and dispose of as assets of that class, subject to any specified conditions or restrictions; without prejudice to paragraph (a) above, specify descriptions of bodies corporate shares or other interests or rights in which a building society is to have power to acquire, hold and dispose of as assets of that class, subject to any specified conditions or restrictions; make any amendments of or repeals in this Act which are consequential on the exercise of its powers under paragraph (a) or (b) above; make such incidental, supplemental or transitional provision as it considers necessary or expedient. The powers conferred by subsection (1) above may be exercised so as to apply in relation to property situated or bodies incorporated within the United Kingdom or any other member State or other country or territory and so as to be exercisable for purposes other than the purposes of building societies under the powers conferred on them for the time being by or under this Act. Any power conferred on a building society under this section, if available to it, must, in order to be exercisable, be adopted by the society. Where, by virtue of an order under subsection (1)(a) or (b) above, property is held by a building society the property shall constitute class 3 assets for the purposes of the requirements of this Part for the structure of commercial assets and accordingly the aggregate value of the property, as determined in accordance with the order, shall count in accordance with section 20 towards the limits applicable to class 3 assets under that section. Subsection (5) above is subject to any provision contained in the order. The power to make an order under subsection (1) above is exercisable by statutory instrument but no such order shall be made unless a draft of the order has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. “property” includes rights of any description; and “specified” means specified in an order under subsection (1) above. The requirements for the structure of commercial assets applicable to building societies are the following. The class 2 assets or, if it has class 3 assets, the aggregate of the class 2 and class 3 assets held by a building society at the end of a financial year shall not exceed whichever is the greater of— 10 per cent. of the total commercial assets held by the society at that time, or an amount corresponding to that percentage of the total commercial assets held by the society at the end of the preceding financial year. The class 3 assets (if any) held by a building society at the end of a financial year shall not exceed whichever is the greater of— 5 per cent. of the total commercial assets held by the society at that time, or The Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument direct that subsection (2) or (3) above shall have effect during the currency of the order as if such percentage as is specified in the order were substituted for the percentage specified in that subsection, not being a percentage greater than 25 per cent. in the case of subsection (2) and 15 per cent. in the case of subsection (3) above. An order under subsection (4) above may— divide class 3 assets into sub-classes for the purposes of the order by reference to the provision of or made under this Part from which they arise; subject to subsection (6) below, prescribe different limits for different sub-classes; and make such transitional provision as appears to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient; and any reference in this Act to a limit for a class of commercial assets shall, if a limit is in force under subsection (4) above for any sub-class of class 3 assets, be construed as including a reference to the limit for that sub-class. No order under subsection (4) above shall prescribe as a limit for a sub-class of class 3 assets a percentage of total commercial assets less than the percentage in force immediately before the making of the order for that sub-class or, if the subclass is created by the order, for class 3 assets generally An order under subsection (4) above shall not be made unless a draft of it has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. The amount or value of the assets of any class of a building society for the purposes of this section is the amount or value as shown in the latest balance sheet or such other amount or value as the Commission determines to be the correct or, as the case requires, appropriate amount or value; and where the Commission determines an amount or value under this subsection the appropriate alterations shall be noted against the annual accounts of the society kept in the public file of the society. In determining for the purposes of this section the asset holding of a building society with which another body corporate is associated there shall, subject to subsection (12) below, be attributed to the society, in accordance with aggregation rules made by the Commission with the consent of the Treasury under this subsection, the whole or part of the assets of whatever description of the associated body, as provided in the rules and subject to any exceptions provided in the rules. The power to make aggregation rules under subsection (9) above includes power to make— different rules for different circumstances, provision for assets of societies to be disregarded, provision for assets to be attributed to any class of assets of societies, and such supplementary, transitional and saving provisions as appear to the Commission to be necessary or expedient. The power to make aggregation rules under subsection (9) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. The Commission may, on the application of a building society, approve rules to be applied for the purposes of this section for the attribution to the society of assets of bodies associated with the society; and so long as the rules continue to be approved by the Commission they, and not the aggregation rules in force under subsection (9) above, shall apply for the attribution of assets for the purposes of this section. If the commercial assets of any class of a building society exceed the limits in force under this section the powers conferred on the Commission by section 36 shall become exercisable in relation to the society, but exceeding the limit shall not affect the validity of transactions effected in excess of it nor require the disposal of any assets. Subject to the following provisions of this section, a building society shall secure that, of its total assets, it keeps such a proportion of them having such a composition as will at all times enable the society to meet its liabilities as they arise. A building society may keep assets of an authorised character beyond those required for the purpose of complying with subsection (1) above. Subject to subsections (5) and (6) below, the assets held by a building society under subsection (1) or (2) above— shall not exceed in the aggregate a proportion of its total assets greater than 33 per cent., and shall be composed of assets of an authorised character and no others; but, subject to that, a building society, in deciding on the composition and proportion appropriate for the purpose of complying with subsection (1) above, shall have regard to the range and scale of its business and the composition and character of its assets and liabilities.

Subsection (3) above, in its application to a building society with which other bodies corporate are associated, is to be read as requiring the society to have regard to the range and scale of the business, and the composition and character of the assets and liabilities, of the society and the associated bodies. The Commission may, by order made with the consent of the Treasury, direct that this section shall have effect during the currency of the order as if such percentage as if specified in the order were substituted for the percentage specified in subsection (3) above; but any order under this subsection shall expire (unless previously revoked) at the end of the period of twelve months beginning with the day on which the order came into operation. The Commission may, at any time, by notice to a building society, direct that the limit in force under this section shall not, subject to any conditions specified in the notice, apply to the society during such period as the Commission specifies in the notice. Regulations to be known as liquid asset regulations shall be made by the Commission, with the consent of the Treasury, for the purposes of this section and such regulations— shall prescribe descriptions of assets as assets of a character which societies may, in any prescribed circumstances and subject to any prescribed conditions, hold under this section for the purpose of meeting their liabilities as they arise, may make different provision for different descriptions of building societies, and may make such supplementary or incidental provision and such transitional provision as appears to the Commission to be necessary or expedient. The power to make an order or regulations under subsection (5) or (7) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulmentin pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. If the assets of a building society which are kept in the form directed by subsection (1) above exceed at any time the percentage in force under this section at that time the powers conferred on the Commission by section 36 shall become exercisable in relation to the society, but exceeding the limit shall not affect the validity of transactions effected in excess of it. “authorised”, in relation to the character of assets, means authorised by regulations under subsection (7) above for the purpose specified in paragraph (a) of that subsection; “business” includes business the society proposes to carry on; and “prescribed” means prescribed in regulations under subsection (7) above. Subject to subsections (3) and (4) below, a building society may effect contracts of a prescribed description for the purpose of reducing the risk of loss arising from changes in interest rates, currency rates or other factors of a prescribed description which affect its business. The Commission, with the consent of the Treasury, may by order— specify as contracts which building societies have power to effect under this section descriptions of contract whose purpose or one of whose purposes is the reduction of the risk to businesses of loss arising from the factors specified in subsection (1) above or other similar factors, and regulate, or provide for the regulation of, the terms on which, the persons or descriptions of persons with whom, and the circumstances in which, contracts of a description specified under paragraph (a) above, may be effected by building societies. Except as provided under subsection (4) below, the powers conferred by this section are not available to a building society which does not for the time being have a qualifying asset holding, but the cessation of their availability does not require the disposal of any property or rights. The Commission, with the consent of the Treasury, may by order provide that subsection (3) above shall not have effect, as regards prescribed powers, in relation to prescribed descriptions of building societies. The power to make an order under subsection (2) or (4) above— includes power to make such transitional provision as the Commission considers necessary or expedient, and is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. In this section “prescribed” means prescribed in an order under subsection (2) or (4) above, as the case may be. The Provisions of Schedule 7 to this Act relating to shareholders in and depositors with a building society shall have effect. Where it appears to the Commission that a building society is in financial difficulties it may authorise a building society to lend money to that society, and a building society shall have power to do so accordingly. A building society may provide services of the descriptions for the time being specified in Part I of Schedule 8 to this Act subject to the restrictions (if any) for the time being specified in Part II or III of that Schedule. The appropriate authority may by order vary Schedule 8 by adding to or deleting from it any description of service or any provision or by varying any description of service or any provision for the time being specified or contained in it but not so as to confer any power to provide services other than services that appear to the authority making the order to be financial services or services relating to land or to be services similar to any such services. Any power conferred on building societies under subsection (2) above may be conferred on building societies of a specified description or all building societies other than those of a specified description. Where a provision of Part III of that Schedule states that a power to provide a specified service is available only to a subsidiary or other associated body of a building society the power to provide that service is to be treated as a power of the society for the purposes of section 18 only. Any power to provide a specified service, if available to a building society or any subsidiary or other associated body, must, in order to be exercisable, be adopted by the society. Subject to any specified restriction, any power to provide a specified service shall be exercisable in relation to members of the building society or other persons. Part IV of Schedule 8 has effect for supplementing Parts I, II and III of that Schedule and the power under subsection (2) above to vary that Schedule includes, without prejudice to the generality of that subsection, power to make such provision as appears to the authority making the order to be appropriate by way of a sanction for contravention of any restriction for the time being contained in Part III. The “appropriate authority” for the purpose of exercising the powers conferred by this section is the Treasury as regards any variation of Part I of Schedule 8 with or without other provision and the Commission in any other case. The power to make an order under subsection (2) above is exercisable by statutory instrument and— in the case of an order varying Part I of Schedule 8 with or without other provision no such order shall be made unless a draft of it has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament, and in the case of any other order, the instrument containing it shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. An order under subsection (2) above may make such incidental and transitional provision as appears to the authority making the order to be necessary or expedient. “financial services” means any of the following services, that is to say, banking, insurance, investment, trusteeship and executorship; “services relating to land” means any service relating to the acquisition, management, development or disposal of land; and “specified” means specified for the time being in Schedule 8 to this Act. A building society which, or a subsidiary of which, provides services of any description specified in Part I of Schedule 8 to this Act shall not offer to make a class 1 advance to any person subject to a condition that any services of that description which are or may be required by that person in connection with the making of the advance shall be provided by the society or its subsidiary. Where, in connection with a class 1 advance by a building society, several services are made available by a building society or by a building society and one or more of its subsidiaries the society shall not, and shall secure that each of its subsidiaries does not,make the services available on terms other than terms which distinguish the consideration payable for each service so made available; nor shall any of its subsidiaries make the services available on terms other than terms which make that distinction. Nothing in subsection (2) above prevents a service from being provided free of charge in particular circumstances. If a building society contravenes subsection (1) or (2) above the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. If a body corporate which is a subsidiary of a building society contravenes subsection (2) above the body corporate shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. The provisions of this section have effect where, by reason of a building society’s failure to comply with— the requirement imposed by section 5(1)(a) or (b) (purpose or principal purpose and principal office); the requirement imposed by section 6(1) (the lending limit); or the requirement imposed by section 7(1) (the funding limit), the powers conferred by this section become exercisable by the appropriate authority in relation to the society (the requirements referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above being referred to in this section as “the relevant statutory requirements”). The appropriate authority may give the society a direction under subsection (3), (5) or (6) below. A direction by the appropriate authority under this subsection is a direction requiring the society, within a specified period, to submit for its approval a plan (in this section referred to as a “restructuring plan”) designed to secure the following purposes, that is to say— that the society will, by the end of a specified period, comply with the relevant statutory requirements as applied at the last day of that period, and that it will not thereafter fail to comply with those requirements. For the purpose of applying the relevant statutory requirements as directed by subsection (3)(a) above— in the case of a requirement which operates by reference to a quarter day, the day as at which the requirements are to be applied shall be treated as such a day; and the assets and liabilities of the society shall be determined by reference to a balance sheet prepared by the directors by reference to that day and sent to the appropriate authority within the period of three months beginning with that day; and subsection (4) of section 81 shall apply in the event of a default in complying with this provision as it applies in the event of a default in complying with subsection (2) of that section. A direction by the appropriate authority under this subsection is a direction requiring the society— within a specified period, to submit to its members for their approval at a meeting the requisite transfer resolutions for a transfer of the business of the society to a company under section 97; and to notify the appropriate authority and, if the appropriate authority is the PRA, the FCA of the result of the meeting. A direction by the appropriate authority under this subsection is a direction requiring the society, at its option, either— within a specified period, to submit for approval a restructuring plan; or within a specified period, to submit to its members for their approval at a meeting the requisite transfer resolutions for a transfer of the business of the society to a company under section 97; and, within a specified period, to notify the appropriate authority and, if the appropriate authority is the PRA, the FCA of the option it has decided to pursue. Where the appropriate authority gives a direction under subsection (3), (5) or (6) above, it may also give a direction under this subsection— imposing limitations on the issue of shares, the acceptance of deposits or the making of loans; requiring the society within a specified period to take certain steps, or to refrain from adopting or pursuing a particular course of action, or to restrict the scope of its business in a particular way; requiring the society within a specified period to take steps with regard to the conduct of the business of any connected undertaking of the society; requiring within a specified period the removal of any director or other officer. Where a restructuring plan is submitted by a society to the appropriate authority under subsection (3) or (6) above then— if it appears to the appropriate authority that the plan is reasonably likely to secure its purposes, the appropriate authority shall approve it and direct the society to carry it out; if it appears to it that the plan is, with modifications, likely to secure its purposes and the appropriate authority and the society agree on appropriate modifications within the period of 21 days from the date on which the appropriate authority notifies the society of the modifications it proposes for the society’s agreement, the appropriate authority shall approve the plan as modified and direct the society to carry it out; but otherwise it shall reject the plan. Where a meeting is held, in pursuance of a direction under subsection (5) or (6) above, for the purpose of voting on the requisite transfer resolutions, then— if the resolutions are agreed to and the confirmation of the transfer by the appropriate authority is obtained, the society shall proceed under section 97 to transfer its business to a successor company; if either resolution is disagreed to, the society shall notify the appropriate authority of that fact as soon as it is practicable to do so. In the event of the appropriate authority receiving a notice from a society under subsection (9)(b) above, it may, if it thinks fit, serve on the society a direction requiring it, within a specified period, to submit to the appropriate authority for its approval a restructuring plan; and if the appropriate authority does so, subsection (8) above shall apply as if the plan had been submitted under subsection (3) above. The appropriate authority may, if it thinks fit, extend or further extend any period during which a building society is to take any steps required of it under any of the foregoing provisions of this section and may do so whether or not application is made to it before the expiry of the period in question. If a building society which has been directed under subsection (8) above to carry out a restructuring plan fails, within the period allowed to it under the foregoing provisions of this section, to secure the purpose of the plan specified in subsection (3)(a) above, the powers conferred on the appropriate authority by section 36A shall become exercisable in relation to the society. If a building society fails, within the period allowed to it under the foregoing provisions of this section— where it has been given a direction under subsection (3) or (10) above, to submit a restructuring plan; where it has been given a direction under subsection (5) above, to submit to members the requisite transfer resolutions; where it has been given a direction under subsection (6) above, to either submit a restructuring plan or submit to members the requisite transfer resolutions; where it has been given a direction under subsection (7) above, to comply with any requirement imposed by the direction; where it has been directed under subsection (8) above to carry out a restructuring plan, to secure the purpose of the plan specified in subsection (3)(a) above; to agree to the requisite transfer resolutions submitted to the members in pursuance of subsection (5) or (6) above; or where it has agreed to the requisite transfer resolutions, to proceed under section 97 to transfer its business to the successor company, or if the appropriate authority rejects a restructuring plan under subsection (8) above, the powers conferred on the appropriate authority by section 37 shall become exercisable in relation to the society. “confirmation”, “the requisite transfer resolutions” and “transfer” have the same meaning as in section 97; “quarter day” has the same meaning as in sections 6 and 7. Nothing in this section implies that it is improper for the appropriate authority to give to a building society or building societies generally an indication of the action it might or might not take in relation to any proposed activity of theirs. The PRA must consult the FCA before issuing a direction under this section. Where by virtue of section 36(12) the powers conferred by this section become exercisable in relation to a building society, the appropriate authority may issue a prohibition order directed to the society. A prohibition order under this section is an order— prohibiting, subject to the saving or transitional provisions of the order, the continuance or, as the case may be, the carrying on of the activity specified in the order after a date so specified, either absolutely or unless conditions so specified are complied with; and requiring, subject to the saving or transitional provisions of the order, the disposal within a period specified in the order of all assets acquired or otherwise in its possession by virtue of the activity. A disposal of assets in pursuance of a prohibition order shall vest the assets in the transferee but without prejudice to any claim against the society by a person who had an interest in the assets. The saving or transitional provisions which may be included in a prohibition order shall be such as appear to the appropriate authority to be just having regard to— the interests of shareholders of and depositors with the society; and the interests of other persons who will be affected by the order. If the appropriate authority proposes to issue a prohibition order under this section it must give the society a warning notice. If the appropriate authority decides to issue a prohibition order under this section it must give the society a decision notice, and may issue the order at the same time as or after giving the decision notice. A warning notice or decision notice about a prohibition order under this section must set out the terms of the order which the appropriate authority proposes (or has decided) to make, including any saving or transitional provisions to be included in it. Part XXVI of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (notices) is to be treated as applying in respect of warning notices and decision notices given under this section as it applies in respect of warning notices and decision notices given under that Act, subject to subsection (5D) below. In the application of Part XXVI of that Act in respect of warning notices and decision notices given under this section— section 388(1)(e) is to be omitted, section 388(2) (which makes provision for the type of action to which a decision notice may relate if it was preceded by a warning notice) is to be read as if, for the word “Part”, there were substituted the word “ section ”, section 390 (final notices) is to be omitted, and for the purposes of section 391 (publication) a decision notice given under this section is to be treated as if it were a final notice rather than a decision notice. The PRA must consult the FCA about the terms of the prohibition order in question before giving a warning notice or a decision notice under this section. If the appropriate authority issues a prohibition order under this section it shall serve the order on the society.... A prohibition order so . . . issued shall, subject to subsection (11) below, take effect on the date specified in the order. A copy of any order issued under subsection (6) above shall also be served on each director and on the chief executive of the society. The requirement of subsection (8) above, so far as it relates to directors, is satisfied by serving a copy on each director whose appointment has been officially notified and the non-receipt of a copy by a director or the chief executive does not affect the validity of the order. The PRA must give the FCA a copy of any order issued under this section. The FCA must keep a copy of any order issued under this section in the public file of the society. Subject to subsection (11) below, a prohibition order shall remain in force until revoked by the appropriate authority . The appropriate authority may suspend or revoke a prohibition order so far as it relates to an asset the disposal of which appears to it, on the application of the society, to be impracticable. If a society contravenes a prohibition order issued against it under this section— the power conferred on the appropriate authority by section 37(1) shall become exercisable in relation to the society; and the appropriate authority may exercise that power or certify the contravention in writing to the High Court, or do both of those things; but the contravention shall not invalidate any transaction or other act. On receiving such a certification, the High Court— may inquire into the case; and after hearing any witnesses who may be produced against or on behalf of the society and after hearing any statement which may be offered in defence, may punish the society in like manner as if it had been guilty of contempt of the court. Where a contravention of a prohibition order which is so certified is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of, or to be attributable to any neglect on the part of, any officer of the society he, as well as the society, may be punished in like manner as if he had been guilty of contempt of the court. In the application of this section to a building society whose principal office is in Scotland, references to the High Court shall be read as references to the Court of Session. Where— by virtue of section 36(13) the powers conferred by this section become exercisable in relation to a building society; by virtue of section 36A(12) the power conferred by this subsection becomes so exercisable; or the appropriate authority has reason to believe that a building society has ceased to comply with the requirement imposed by section 5(1)(a) (purpose or principal purpose), the appropriate authority may present a petition to the High Court for the winding up of the society under the applicable winding up legislation; and the power conferred by this subsection is available to the appropriate authority whether or not it has previously presented a petition. Where by virtue of section 36(13) the powers conferred by this section become exercisable in relation to a building society, the appropriate authority may make an application to the High Court for an order giving directions to the society under subsection (3) below; and the power conferred by this subsection is available to the appropriate authority whether or not it has previously made an application for such an order. An order under this subsection is an order directing the society to comply with a direction under subsection (3), (5), (6), (7) or (10) of section 36 as directed in the order, or to carry out a restructuring plan as so directed. Where the High Court makes an order under subsection (3)— if the appropriate authority is the PRA, it must give a copy of the order to the FCA; and in any case, the FCA must keep a copy of the order in the public file of the society. The High Court shall not make an order winding up the society on an application under subsection (1)(c) above unless it is satisfied that the society has ceased to comply with the requirement imposed by section 5(1)(a). The Commission shall have power to determine whether a particular activity of a building society or its subsidiary is or is not within the existing powers of the society and may, if it thinks fit, take such professional advice as it considers it needs to enable it to make the determination. A determination may be made under this section in relation to an activity which is proposed to be carried on as well as in relation to one which is being carried on. The powers of the Commission in relation to a building society are exercisable— on an application made by the society, requesting the Commission to make the determination, on an application made by the society at the direction of the central office under Part II of Schedule 2 to this Act, or on the Commission’s own motion or on an application made by the society at its direction, as provided in subsection (4), (5), (6) or (8) below. A building society may at any time, on complying with the following provisions of this section, make an application to the Commission for a determination under this section whether an activity specified in the application is or is not within its powers if the directors of the society are of the opinion that there is a doubt about the existence or extent of the powers to carry on the activity which requires to be resolved in the interests of the society. A building society which has been directed by the central office under Part II of Schedule 2 to this Act to make an application to the Commission under this section shall, in accordance with the direction, make an application to the Commission for a determination whether the activity specified in the application is or is not within its powers. If it appears to the Commission at any time that a building society or its subsidiary is carrying on or is about to carry on an activity which is or may be outside the existing powers of the society, the Commission may, by notice to the society specifying the activity and its opinion, direct it to make an application for a determination under this section whether the activity is or is not within its powers and it shall be the duty of the society to comply with the direction. A direction under subsection (6) shall require the application to be made within the period of 21 days beginning with the date on which the notice is given, but the Commission may extend or further extend the period within which the application is to be made. If a building society fails, within the time allowed by or under subsection (7) above, to make an application as directed under subsection (6) above, the Commission may, of its own motion, proceed to make a determination under this section as if an application had been made by the society. An application by a building society under subsection (4), (5) or (6) above shall be made in writing, signed by the secretary as such an application, and shall comprise— a statement of the question for determination, specifying the activity and the powers in question, the nature of the doubt and (except in the case of an application under subsection (6)) the arguments for and against the activity being within those powers, as they appear to the society, and such documents or draft documents and such other information as are necessary to enable the determination to be made. The statement of the question for determination may, with the agreement of the Commission, be amended at any time before the determination is made and in that event further documents and other information may be included in the application. The Commission may, by notice to the society, require a society making an application under subsection (4), (5) or (6) above to amend the statement of the question for determination or to furnish such further documents or other information or such explanations of the statement, documents or information as appear to it to be necessary to enable the determination of the question to be made; and the Commission may allow or require the explanations to be made orally instead of in writing. In this section and sections 39 and 40— “activity” includes the exercise, or purported exercise, of any power under this Act, including the holding of any property or rights; “existing”, with reference to powers, means existing at the relevant date and, in relation to a building society, “existing powers” denotes the powers it has, or has adopted, under this Act, with any restrictions it has assumed, as at that date but disregarding anything done by the Commission and then in force (otherwise than under section 39 or 40) by virtue of which the society is precluded from exercising, or is subject to restrictions on the exercise of, its powers; “the relevant date”, in relation to a building society, means— in a case where the Commission decides to proceed of its own motion, the date when the Commission so decides; in a case where the society makes the application at the direction of the central office, the date specified in the direction; and in any other case, the date on which the society makes the application. Nothing in this section or section 39 or 40 implies that it is improper for the Commission to give to a building society or building societies generally an indication of the action it might or might not take in relation to any proposed activity of theirs; and if any determination comes to be made in relation to the activity the proceedings shall not be liable to be set aside by reason of the indication having been given. A determination of the Commission under section 38 shall be in writing and, as soon as practicable after it is made, the Commission shall notify the society of the determination and the reasons for it. On receiving notice of the determination the society shall, if it is a determination that the activity in question was outside its powers, forthwith send a copy of it to every person who the society has reason to believe will or may be affected by it other than a person whose only interest is as a shareholder in, or depositor with, the society. Subject to subsection (4) below, the Commission shall, within the period of one month beginning with the date of the notice to the society under subsection (1) above, publish the determination in such manner as it thinks appropriate. Where the determination is made on an application made by the society under section 38(4), the Commission may, on the application of the society, postpone the publication of the determination for such period as it thinks fit, not exceeding the period of six months beginning with the date of the notice to the society under subsection (1) above, if it appears to the Commission that it is just to do so. A determination under section 38 shall bind all persons, whether or not (in the case of an application) they were parties to it and, subject to any appeal under subsection (8) below, shall be final and conclusive for all purposes. Where the activity in question was at the relevant date being carried on by the society and the determination is that the activity is outside the powers of the society the directors of the society shall be personally liable, jointly and severally, for any loss or expense to the society consequent on the activity’s being outside its powers (including, if a prohibition order under section 40 is made, any loss or expense consequent on the order). If it appears to the Commission that proceedings under subsection (6) above have not been, but ought in the interests of the society to be, brought, the Commission may bring such proceedings in the name and on behalf of the society; and if it does so the Commission may indemnify the society against the costs or expenses incurred by the society in, or in connection with, proceedings brought by virtue of this subsection. Any person affected by a determination under section 38 shall be entitled within the period of six weeks beginning with the date of the notice under subsection (1) above or such further period as the Court may allow, to appeal to the High Court against the determination in accordance with rules of court on the ground that it is erroneous in law and the Commission shall be made respondent on the appeal. On any appeal to the High Court under subsection (8) above the High Court may confirm, reverse or vary the determination appealed from. The Commission may, if it thinks fit, require a building society in whose case it has made a determination under section 38 to pay such fee as the Commission directs. On or at any time after making a determination under section 38 that a specified activity is outside the powers of a building society, the Commission shall, if it appears to it— that the activity is being carried on by the society, or that the activity has not been but, unless a prohibition order is made under this section, may be carried on by the society. serve on the society a notice of the Commission’s intention to issue a prohibition order directed to the society. A prohibition order under this section is an order prohibiting, subject to the saving or transitional provisions of the order, the continuance or, as the case may be, the carrying on of the activity specified in the order, either absolutely or unless conditions specified in the order are complied with, after a date specified in the order and requiring, subject to the saving or transitional provisions of the order, the disposal within a specified period of all assets acquired or otherwise in its possession by virtue of the activity. The saving or transitional provisions which may be included in a prohibition order shall be such as appear to the Commission to be just having regard to the interests of shareholders of and the depositors with the society and the interests of other persons who will be affected by the order; but the provisions shall not in any respect suspend the operation of the order beyond the period of one year. A prohibition order may include a direction for treating assets of any description as assets of the class specified in the direction for the purposes of the requirements of Part III for the structure of commercial assets. A notice under subsection (1) above of the Commission’s intention to issue a prohibition order shall— specify the date on which the order is to be issued, being a date not earlier than the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the date of the notice; specify the terms of the order, including any saving or transitional provisions proposed to be included in it; inform the society of its right to make representations to the Commission before the order is issued as to the saving or transitional provisions to be included in the order; and inform the society of its duty under subsection (7) below. On receiving a notice under subsection (1) above the society shall forthwith send a copy of it to every other person whom it has reason to believe will or may be affected by the determination under section 38 on which the order will be founded. Any person who may be affected by the determination under section 38 on which the order will be founded may, at any time before the order is made, make representations to the Commission as to the inclusion in it of saving or transitional provisions affecting his interests and they may be made orally or in writing. After considering any representations made under subsection (8) above the Commission shall make the prohibition order with such saving and transitionalprovisions (if any) as it thinks just, shall issue the order by causing it to be served on the society and shall direct the central office to keep a copy of it in the public file of the society. A prohibition order so made and issued shall, subject to subsection (15) below, take effect on the date specified in the order. A copy of any order issued under subsection (9) above shall also be served on each director and on the chief executive of the society. The requirement of subsection (11) above, so far as it relates to directors, is satisfied by serving a copy on each director whose appointment has been officially notified and the non-receipt of a copy by a director or the chief executive does not affect the validity of the direction. Subject to subsection (14) below, a prohibition order shall remain in force until revoked by the Commission. The Commission may suspend or revoke a prohibition order so far as it relates to an asset the disposal of which appears to it, on the application of the society, to be impracticable. If, when a prohibition order has been made, an appeal is pending before the High Court under section 39(8) against the determination on which the order is founded the High Court may, on application made to it, order that the operation of the prohibition order be stayed until the determination of the appeal; but it shall not do so unless it is satisfied that it is in the public interest that it be stayed. If a society contravenes a prohibition order issued against it under this section the Commission may certify the contravention in writing to the High Court; and the Court may thereupon inquire into the case and, after hearing any witnesses who may be produced against or on behalf of the society and after hearing any statement which may be offered in defence, may punish the society in like manner as if it had been guilty of contempt of the court. In the application of this section to a building society whose principal office is in Scotland, references to the High Court shall be read as references to the Court of Session and references to staying shall be read as references to sisting. If, with respect to a building society which has a permission under Part 4A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 to accept deposits, the appropriate authority considers it expedient to do so in order to protect the investments of shareholders or depositors, it may either— direct the society, within a specified period, to transfer all its engagements to one or more other building societies under section 94; direct the society, within a specified period, to transfer its business under section 97 to an existing or specially formed company that is a subsidiary of another mutual society by a transfer to which provision made by order under section 3 of the 2007 Act (transfers to subsidiaries of other mutuals) applies;or direct the society, within a specified period, to transfer its business under section 97 to an existing company that is not a subsidiary of another mutual society . “the 2007 Act” means the Building Societies (Funding) and Mutual Societies (Transfers) Act 2007; “mutual society” has the same meaning as in section 3 of that Act. If it appears to the appropriate authority that a society has failed to comply with a direction under subsection (1), the appropriate authority may exercise its power under section 55J (variation or cancellation on initiative of regulator), section 55L (imposition of requirements by FCA) or section 55M (imposition of requirements by PRA) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 in relation to the society .... Subsection (2) does not affect the appropriate authority ’s ability to exercise that power, in relation to the society, on any other ground. Where the appropriate authority — gives a building society a direction under subsection (1)(a) above; or does not give a building society such a direction solely because the society is already seeking to transfer all its engagements to one or more other building societies under section 94, the appropriate authority may, if it considers it expedient to do so in order to protect the investments of shareholders or depositors, direct that, instead of resolving to transfer its engagements by the two resolutions required by section 94(2) (with or without the additional resolution required by section 94(3)), the society may resolve to do so by a resolution of the board of directors. gives a building society a direction under subsection (1)(aa) or (b) above; or does not give a building society such a direction solely because the society is already seeking to transfer its business to an existing company , or to a specially formed company that is a subsidiary of another mutual society, under section 97, the appropriate authority may, if it considers it expedient to do so in order to protect the investments of shareholders or depositors, direct that, instead of approving the transfer and the terms of the transfer by the two resolutions required by section 97(4)(c), the society may approve the transfer and those terms by a resolution of the board of directors. A direction under subsection (3) or (4) above— may be given subject to such limitations or conditions as the appropriate authority may think fit; and unless renewed by a further direction, shall cease to have effect at the end of the period of 90 days beginning with the day on which it is given. The PRA must consult the FCA before giving a direction under this section. In Schedule 8A to this Act— Part I (which contains provisions modifying sections 94 to 96 and Schedule 16 to this Act) shall apply where a direction is given under subsection (3) above; and Part II (which contains provisions modifying sections 97 to 100 and Schedule 17 to this Act) shall apply where a direction is given under subsection (4) above. The Treasury may make regulations for the purpose of specifying, as prescribed matters— the matters of which statements under paragraph 3 of Schedule 8A to this Act are to give particulars; and the matters of which statements under paragraph 9 of that Schedule are to give particulars. The power to make regulations under this section is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. A direction under section 42B(1) . . . may be varied by a further direction; and a direction may be revoked by the appropriate authority by a notice in writing to the building society concerned. If the appropriate authority is the PRA, it must consult the FCA before varying or revoking a direction. If the appropriate authority proposes— to give a direction to a society under section 36(3), (5), (6), (7) or (10), or to give a direction to a society under section 42B(1), other than a direction varying a previous direction with the agreement of the society concerned, it must give the society a warning notice. The warning notice must set out the terms of the direction which the appropriate authority proposes to give. If the appropriate authority decides— it must give the society a decision notice. The decision notice must set out the terms of the direction which the appropriate authority has decided to give. A society to whom a decision notice is given under this section may refer the matter to the Upper Tribunal. Part XXVI of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (notices) is to be treated as applying in respect of warning notices and decision notices given under this section as it applies in respect of warning notices and decision notices given under that Act, subject to subsection (8) below. section 388(1)(e)(i) (which requires a decision notice to indicate any right given under that Act to refer a decision to the Tribunal) is to be read as if, for the words “this Act”, there were substituted “ the Building Societies Act 1986 ”; section 388(2) (which makes provision for the type of action which may be proposed in a decision notice which was preceded by a warning notice) is to be read as if, for the word “Part”, there were substituted “ section ”; section 390(4) (which provides for the content of a final notice about an order) is to be read as if— for the words “an order” there were substituted “ a direction ”, and for the words “the order”, in both places where they appear, there were substituted “ the direction ”; and section 392 (application of sections 393 (third party rights) and 394 (access to appropriate authority material)) is to be read— as if paragraph (a) of that section contained a reference to a warning notice given under subsection (1) above, and as if paragraph (b) of that section contained a reference to a decision notice given under subsection (3) above. A building society which is aggrieved by a decision of the Commission— to refuse to grant authorisation; to revoke authorisation; to impose or vary conditions or as to the conditions imposed or varied; or to give a direction, may appeal against the decision to a tribunal constituted in accordance with section 47. Any person in relation to whom the Commission, in deciding to refuse to grant or to revoke authorisation, to impose or vary conditions or to give a direction, makes a determination that a person is not a fit and proper person to hold, or as the case may be, to remain in an office in the society or imposes a requirement that he be removed from an office in the society, may appeal against the decision so far as it relates to that determination or requirement. The revocation of a society’s authorisation, or a direction under section 36(3), (5), (6), (7) or (10), shall not have effect until— the end of the period within which an appeal can be brought against the Commission’s decision to revoke the authorisation or give the direction; and if such an appeal is brought, until it is determined or withdrawn. Subsection (3) above applies in relation to the expiry of a society’s authorisation on a refusal to grant authorisation under section 41 as it applies to the revocation of a society’s authorisation. Subject to subsection (3) above and any order of the tribunal made under section 47(5), an appeal under subsection (1)(c) or (d) or (2) above shall not affect the operation, pending the determination of the appeal, of any condition or direction which is the subject of the appeal; and no determination of an appeal by any person under subsection (2) above shall affect the revocation or direction for the purposes of which the Commission made its determination or requirement in relation to that person. In this section and section 47— “conditions” means conditions to be complied with by a building society and imposed on the grant of authorisation under section 9, on the renewal of authorisation under section 41, on reauthorisation under section 44, or under section 42, or imposed or varied under section 42A; “direction” means a direction under section 36(3), (5), (6), (7) or (10), section 42B(1) or section 43A; “grant” includes renew; “revoke” means revoke under section 43(1). Where an appeal is brought under section 46, a tribunal to determine the appeal shall be constituted in accordance with subsection (2) below. The tribunal shall consist of— a chairman appointed by the Lord Chancellor or the Lord Advocate, and two other members appointed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The chairman shall be a person who has a 7 year general qualification, within the meaning of section 71 of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990; an advocate or solicitor in Scotland of at least 7 years’ standing; or a member of the Bar of Northern Ireland or solicitor of the Supreme Court of Northern Ireland of at least 7 years’ standing; ; and the other two members shall be persons appearing to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to have respectively experience of accountancy and experience of the business of building societies or of other financial institutions. A person shall not be appointed after the day on which he attains the age of 70 to be the chairman of a tribunal under this section. On any appeal against any decision of the Commission the question for the determination of the tribunal shall be whether, for the reasons adduced by the appellant, the decision was unlawful or not justified by the evidence on which it was based. The tribunal may, on the application of the building society concerned, order that the operation of— any condition or variation of a condition;

or any direction under section 36(3), (5), (6), (7) or (10), section 42B(1) or section 43A, which is the subject of an appeal by the society be suspended pending the determination of the appeal. The tribunal may confirm or reverse the decision which is the subject of the appeal but shall not have power to vary it except by directing the Commission— in the case of an appeal against a decision to refuse to grant authorisation, to determine the conditions to which the grant of authorisation is to be subject; in the case of an appeal against a decision to revoke authorisation, to determine the conditions or different conditions subject to which the authorisation is to continue in force, as the case may be; in the case of an appeal against the imposition of conditions or as to the conditions imposed by the decision, to determine different conditions subject to which the authorisation is to be granted or is to continue, as the case may be; in the case of an appeal against the variation of conditions or as to the variation imposed by the decision, to determine different variations of the conditions subject to which the authorisation is to continue; in the case of an appeal against the giving of a direction under section 36(3), to give a direction under section 36(5) or (6); in the case of an appeal against the giving of a direction under section 36(5), to give a direction under section 36(3) or (6); in the case of an appeal against the giving of a direction under section 36(7), section 42B(1) or section 43A, to give a direction imposing different requirements. Where by virtue of subsection (6) above the tribunal directs the Commission to determine conditions or different conditions or to determine different variations of conditions— the Commission shall by notice to the society concerned impose such conditions, or such variations of conditions, to be complied with by the society as it considers expedient in order to protect the investments of shareholders or depositors; Part III of Schedule 3 to this Act shall apply subject to the modifications made by paragraph 9 of that Schedule; and the society concerned may appeal to the tribunal against any of those conditions or variations; and on any such appeal the tribunal may confirm or reverse the Commission’s decision with respect to the conditions or variations which are the subject of the appeal or may direct the Commission to determine different conditions or variations. Where by virtue of subsection (6) above the tribunal directs the Commission to give a different direction under section 36— the Commission shall by notice to the society concerned give such direction as it considers expedient in order to ensure compliance with the relevant statutory requirements within the meaning of that section; paragraphs 2 and 3 of Schedule 7A to this Act shall apply subject to the modifications made by paragraph 4 of that Schedule; and the society concerned may appeal to the tribunal against that direction; and on any such appeal the tribunal may confirm or reverse the Commission’s decision with respect to the direction which is the subject of the appeal or may direct the Commission to give a different direction. Where by virtue of subsection (6) above the tribunal directs the Commission to give a different direction under section 43A— the Commission shall by notice to the society concerned give such direction as it considers desirable in the interests of shareholders or depositors; and Where by virtue of subsection (7), (7A) or (7B) above the tribunal, on an appeal against any conditions or variations of conditions or any direction, directs the Commission— to determine different conditions or variations; or to give a different direction, the other provisions of that subsection shall apply as they apply where the tribunal gives such a direction by virtue of subsection (6) above. Where the tribunal reverses a decision of the Commission to refuse to grant authorisation, it shall direct the Commission to grant it; and where the tribunal reverses a decision of the Commission to make the grant of authorisation subject to conditions, it shall direct the Commission to grant it unconditionally. Notice of a tribunal’s determination, together with a statement of its reasons, shall be given to the appellant and to the Commission; and unless the tribunal has directed the Commission to determine conditions, variations or directions or, in any other case, the tribunal directs otherwise, the determination shall come into operation when the notice is given to the appellant. The Treasury may out of money provided by Parliament pay to the persons appointed as members of a tribunal under this section such fees and allowances in respect of expenses as the Treasury may determine and any other expenses incurred for the purposes of this section. A tribunal may give such directions as it thinks fit for the payment of costs or expenses by any party to the appeal. On an appeal under section 46(2) the building society in relation to which the determination was made, or upon which the requirement was imposed, shall be entitled to be heard. The Treasury may, . . ., make regulations with respect to appeals under section 46; and those regulations may in particular make provision— as to the period within which and the manner in which such appeals are to brought; as to the manner in which such appeals are to be conducted, including provision for any hearing to be held in private; for requiring any person, on tender of the necessary expenses of his attendance, to attend and give evidence or produce documents in his custody or under his control and for authorising the administration of oaths to witnesses; for granting to any person such discovery or inspection of documents or right to further particulars as might be granted by a county court in England and Wales or Northern Ireland or, in Scotland, for granting to any person such recovery or inspection of documents as might be granted by the sheriff; for enabling an appellant to withdraw an appeal or the Commission to withdraw its opposition to an appeal and for the consequences of any such withdrawal; for taxing or otherwise settling any costs or expenses directed to be paid by the tribunal and for the enforcement of any such direction; for enabling any functions in relation to an appeal to be discharged by the chairman of the tribunal; and as to any other matter connected with such appeals. A person who, having been required in accordance with regulations under this section to attend and give evidence, fails without reasonable excuse to attend or give evidence shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale. A person who intentionally alters, suppresses, conceals, destroys or refuses to produce any document which he has been required to produce in accordance with regulations under this section, or which he is liable to be so required to produce, shall be liable— on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine or both; on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum. An appeal shall lie to the High Court at the instance of the building society or other person concerned or of the Commission on any question of law arising from any decision of a tribunal under section 47; and if the court is of the opinion that the decision was erroneous in law, it shall remit the matter to the tribunal for re-hearing and determination by it. In the application of this section to a building society whose principal office is in Scotland, references to the High Court shall be construed as references to the Court of Session. No appeal to the Court of Appeal or to the Court of Appeal in Northern Ireland shall be brought from a decision under subsection (1) above except with the leave of that court or of the court or judge from whose decision the appeal is brought. An appeal shall lie, with the leave of the Court of Session or the House of Lords, from any decision of the Court of Session under this section, and such leave may be given on such terms as to costs, expenses or otherwise as the Court of Session or the House of Lords may determine. If, as regards a building society and another body corporate which is not an associated body by virtue of section 18, it appears to the Commission that persons who might invest in or otherwise deal with that other body may be misled into believing that there is such a business relationship between the society and that body as indicates that the society has assumed an obligation to discharge that body’s liabilities in any event, the Commission may give the society a direction under subsection (2) below. A direction under this subsection is a direction requiring the society— if they are available to it, to assume and make exercisable, or to make exercisable, as regards a body specified in the direction, the powers conferred by section 18; or to take such steps as are agreed with the Commission for the purpose of removing the appearance of a business relationship with the specified body which indicates the assumption of an obligation of the description referred to in subsection (1) above; and, within a specified period, to notify the Commission of the course it has decided to take. The steps that a building society may be required to take for the purpose of complying with a direction under subsection (2) above may relate to the conduct of its business or to its business relationship (if any) with the other body and, in particular, may require the removal of any person from any office in the society or that body. A direction under subsection (2) above shall— specify the matters which appear to the Commission to be capable of giving rise to such a belief as is mentioned in subsection (1) above; specify the period within which the society must comply with the direction; require the society, if it decides to comply with the direction by taking steps to secure the purpose mentioned in subsection (2)(b) above, to notify the Commission of the steps it proposes to take. Where a building society, in pursuance of subsection (2)(b) above notifies the Commission of steps which it proposes to take to secure the purpose mentioned in that paragraph then— if it appears to the Commission that the steps proposed are reasonably likely to secure that purpose, the Commission shall approve them and direct the society to carry them out; if it appears to the Commission that the steps proposed are, with modifications, likely to secure that purpose and the Commission and the society agree on appropriate modifications within the period of 21 days from the date on which the Commission notifies the society of the modifications it proposes for their agreement, the Commission shall approve the steps as modified and direct the society to carry them out; but otherwise the Commission shall reject the society’s proposals. If the Commission rejects a society’s proposals under subsection (5) above the Commission shall direct the society, within a specified period, to take the steps specified in the direction. Any direction under subsection (2), (5) or (6) above shall be given by the Commission by notice served on the society. The Commission may, if it thinks fit, extend, or further extend, any period during which a building society is to take any steps required of it under any of the foregoing provisions of this section and may do so whether or not application is made to it before the expiry of the period in question. If a building society fails, within the period allowed to it under the foregoing provisions of this section, to comply with a direction under subsection (2) or (6) above, the Commission may serve on the society an aggregation notice to take effect on such date as is specified in the notice.

The first set of conditions is that— there are on the premises specified in the warrant information, documents or other material in relation to which a requirement has been imposed on any person under section 52(5), (5A) or (6) above or section 57(3) below, or which it is the duty of any person to produce under section 55(3) or 57(2) below, and that person has failed (wholly or in part) to comply with the requirement or, having been requested to do so, has failed (wholly or in part) to comply with that duty. The second set of conditions is that— there are on the premises specified in the warrant information, documents or other material in relation to which a requirement could be imposed on any person under section 52(5), (5A) or (6) above or section 57(3) below, or which any person could be requested to produce in compliance with the duty imposed on them by section 55(3) or 57(2) below, and if such a requirement were imposed, or such a request made,— it would not be complied with, or any information, documents or other material to which it related would be removed, tampered with or destroyed. For the purposes of sections 348 to 353 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (restrictions on disclosure of confidential information)— information to which this section applies is to be treated as confidential information; and in relation to such information, each of the following is a primary recipient— the FCA; the PRA; any person who is or has been employed by the FCA or the PRA ; and any person appointed by the FCA or the PRA to carry out functions under this Act. This section applies to information which— relates to— the business or other affairs of a building society or other body, or its or their plans for future development; or any person who is or has been, or has been appointed (or, in the case of a director, nominated or proposed as), an officer of a building society or other body; was received by a primary recipient (within the meaning of subsection (1)(b)) for the purposes of, or in the discharge of, any functions of the FCA or the PRA under any provision made by or under this Act; and is not excluded information by virtue of subsection (4). It is immaterial for the purposes of subsection (2) whether or not the information was received— by virtue of a requirement to provide it imposed by or under this Act; for other purposes as well as purposes mentioned in that subsection. Information is excluded information if— it has been made available to the public by virtue of being disclosed in any circumstances in which, or for any purposes for which, disclosure is not precluded by section 348 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000; or it is in the form of a summary or collection of information so framed that it is not possible to ascertain from it information relating to any particular person. If and in so far as it appears to the Secretary of State that the disclosure of any information will enable the FCA or the PRA better to discharge its functions under this Act (but not otherwise),— information obtained by the Secretary of State under section 447 or 448 of the Companies Act 1985 (inspection of companies’ books and papers) may be disclosed to the FCA or the PRA or further disclosed, notwithstanding the provision as to security of information contained in section 449 or that Act; and where the information is contained in a report made by inspectors appointed under section 431, 432 or 442 of the Companies Act 1985 (investigation of affairs or ownership of companies and certain other bodies corporate) the Secretary of State may furnish a copy of the report to the FCA or the PRA . If it appears to the FCA or the PRA desirable to do so for the purposes of its supervisory functions in relation to a building society, it may appoint one or more competent persons to investigate and report to it on the state and conduct of the business of the society concerned, or any particular aspect of that business. If a person appointed under subsection (1) above thinks it necessary for the purposes of his investigation, he may also investigate the business of any body corporate which is or has at any relevant time been a connected undertaking of the building society under investigation It shall be the duty of every officer, employee and agent of a building society or other body which is under investigation— to produce to the persons appointed under subsection (1) above all records, books and papers relating to the body concerned which are in his custody or power; and to attend before those persons when required to do so; and otherwise to give to those persons all assistance in connection with the investigation which he is reasonably able to give. Any officer, employee or agent of a building society or other body who— without reasonable excuse fails to produce any records, books or papers which it is his duty to produce under subsection (3) above, or without reasonable excuse fails to attend before the person appointed under subsection (1) above when required to do so, or without reasonable excuse fails to answer any question which is put to him by persons so appointed with respect to any building society or other body corporate which is under investigation, shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale. Any officer, employee or agent of a building society or other body who knowingly or recklessly furnishes to any person appointed under subsection (1) above any information which is false or misleading in a material particular, shall be liable— on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine or both; and on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum. “agent”, in relation to a building society or other body whose business is under investigation, includes its bankers, its accountants and solictors and any persons, where they are not officers of the other body concerned, who are employed as its auditors; “the purposes of its supervisory functions”, in relation to the FCA or the PRA , has the same meaning as in section 52; and any reference to an officer, employee or agent of a building society or other body includes a reference to a person who has been but no longer is an officer, employee or agent of that society or other body. In the circumstances mentioned in subsection (2) below, the FCA and the PRA — may appoint one or more competent inspectors to investigate and report on the affairs of a building society, or may call a special meeting of a building society to consider its affairs, or may (either on the same or on different occasions) both appoint an inspector or inspectors and call a special meeting for those purposes; and, in the circumstances mentioned in subsection (3) below, the investigation or consideration may extend to the affairs of any body corporate which is or at any relevant time has been a connected undertaking of the building society. The FCA must consult the PRA before exercising the power in subsection (1). The PRA must consult the FCA before exercising the power in subsection (1). The powers conferred by subsection (1) above may be exercised either— on the application of the requisite number of members of the society, or where no such application is made but the FCA or the PRA (as the case may be) is of opinion that an investigation should be held into the affairs of the society, or that the affairs of the society call for consideration by a meeting of its members. The powers conferred by subsection (1) above may be exercised in relation also to a connected undertaking of a building society either— where the application referred to in subsection (2)(a) above so requests, or where the application contains no such request but the FCA or the PRA (as the case may be) is of the opinion that it is necessary for the purposes of the investigation into or consideration of the affairs of the building society that the affairs of the connected undertaking should also be investigated or considered. Where the inspectors are of the opinion mentioned in subsection (3)(b) above in relation to a connected undertaking of a building society they may, with the consent of the body exercising its powers under subsection (1) , extend their investigation to the affairs of the connected undertaking and make their report accordingly. For the purposes of subsections (1) to (3) above the requisite number of members— in the case of a building society having more than 1,000 members, is 100, and in the case of any other building society, is one-tenth of the whole number of members of the society. The following provisions shall have effect where an application is made as mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above, that is to say— the application shall be supported by such evidence as the body to which the application was made may require for the purpose of showing that the applicants have good reason for requiring an investigation by inspectors or consideration by a special meeting, as the case may be, and that the applicants are not actuated by malicious, frivolous, vexatious or scandalous motives in their application; such notice of the application shall be given to the building society and, in a case where the investigation is to extend to its affairs also, to the society’s connected undertaking, as the body to which the application was made may direct; the body to which the application was made shall require the applicants to give security for payment of the costs of the investigation or meeting before the inspector is appointed or the meeting is called subject, in the case of the costs of an investigation, to an amount not exceeding the corresponding Companies Act limit; and as regards the expenses of or incidental to the investigation or meeting— in the case of an investigation (in whichever way instituted), the expenses shall be defrayed in the first instance by the body to which the application was made but without prejudice to its rights to contribution under section 57(10); in the case of a meeting, the expenses shall be defrayed by the applicants, or out of the funds of the society, or by the members or officers or former members or officers of the society, in such proportions as the body to which the application was made may direct. Before the FCA or the PRA exercises its powers under subsection (1) above in a case falling within subsection (2)(b) above, it shall inform the building society of the action which it proposes to take and the grounds for that action, and the society shall, within 14 days of receiving the information, be entitled to give the body exercising its powers under subsection (1) an explanatory statement in writing by way of a reply. Where the FCA or the PRA proposes to exercise its powers under subsection (1) above in a case falling within subsection (3)(b) above, subsection (7) above shall apply in relation to the connected undertaking as it applies in relation to the society. Inspectors appointed under this section shall, in addition to having the powers which are necessary for or incidental to the discharge of their functions under this section, have the powers specified in section 57. Where a special meeting is called under this section— the body exercising its powers under subsection (1) may direct at what time and place the meeting is to be held, and what matters are to be discussed and determined at the meeting, and may give such other directions as it thinks fit with respect to the calling, holding and conduct of the meeting; the body exercising its powers under subsection (1) may appoint a person to be chairman at the meeting or, in default of such an appointment, the meeting may appoint its own chairman; the meeting shall have all the powers of a meeting called according to the rules of the building society; and the provisions of this subsection and any direction given under it shall have effect notwithstanding anything in the rules of the building society. In this section “the corresponding Companies Act limit”, in relation to security for the payment of the costs of an investigation, is £5,000 or such other sum as is specified for the time being in an order under section 431(4) of the Companies Act 1985 for the purposes of that section. “the body under investigation” means the building society whose affairs or, as the case may be, the building society whose affairs, and each connected undertaking of the building society whose affairs, are the subject of the investigation; “the inspectors” means the persons appointed ... under section 56 to conduct the investigation; “the investigation” means the investigation under section 56 which the inspectors have been appointed to hold; and references to officers or to agents include past, as well as present, officers or agents (as the case may be) and “agents”, in relation to a building society or any connected undertaking of a building society, includes its bankers, its accountants and solicitors and its auditors. When the inspectors have been appointed it is the duty of all officers and agents of the body under investigation— to produce to the inspectors all documents and material of or relating to the body under investigation which are in their custody or power; to attend before the inspectors when required to do so, and otherwise to give the inspectors all assistance in connection with the investigation which they are reasonably able to give. If the inspectors consider that a person other than an officer or agent of the body under investigation is or may be in possession of information concerning its affairs, they may require that person to produce to them any documents or material in his custody or power relating to the body under investigation, to attend before them and otherwise to give them all assistance in connection with the investigation which he is reasonably able to give; and it is that person’s duty to comply with the requirement. The inspectors may examine on oath the officers and agents of the body under investigation, and any such person as is mentioned in subsection (3) above, in relation to the affairs of the body under investigation, and may administer an oath accordingly. An answer given by a person to a question put to him under the foregoing provisions of this section may be used in evidence against him. However, in criminal proceedings in which that person is charged with an offence to which this subsection applies— no evidence relating to the answer may be adduced, and no question relating to it may be asked, by or on behalf of the prosecution, unless evidence relating to it is adduced, or a question relating to it is asked, in the proceedings by or on behalf of that person. Subsection (5A) above applies to any offence other than— an offence under section 2 or 5 of the Perjury Act 1911 (false statements made on oath otherwise than in judicial proceedings or made otherwise than on oath); an offence under section 44(1) or (2) of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 (false statements made on oath or otherwise than on oath); or an offence under Article 7 or 10 of the Perjury (Northern Ireland) Order 1979 (false statements made on oath otherwise than in judicial proceedings or made otherwise than on oath). If an officer or agent of the body under investigation or any such person as is mentioned in subsection (3) above— refuses to produce any document or material which it is his duty under this section to produce, or refuses to attend before the inspectors when required to do so, or refuses to answer any question put to him by the inspectors with respect to the affairs of the body under investigation, the inspectors may certify the refusal in writing to the High Court; and the court may thereupon inquire into the case and, after hearing any witnesses who may be produced against or on behalf of the alleged offender and after hearing any statement which may be offered in defence, may punish the offender in like manner as if he had been guilty of contempt of the court. The inspectors may, and if so directed by the body which appointed the inspectors shall, make interim reports to the body which appointed the inspectors , but they may at any time in the course of the investigation, without making an interim report, inform the body which appointed the inspectors of matters coming to their knowledge as a result of the investigation tending to show that an offence has been committed. The body which appointed the inspectors may, if it thinks fit— send a copy of any report made by the inspectors to the body whose affairs are or were the subject of the investigation; furnish a copy of any such report on request . . . to— any member of the body whose affairs are or were the subject of the investigation; the auditors of that body; any person whose conduct is referred to in the report; any other person whose financial interests appear to the body which appointed the inspectors to be affected by matters dealt with in the report, whether as creditor or otherwise; and cause the report to be printed and published. The body which appointed the inspectors may charge a reasonable fee for furnishing to any person a copy of a report under subsection (8)(b) above. A copy of a report of inspectors appointed under section 56 to hold an investigation under that section, certified by the body which appointed the inspectors to be a true copy, is admissable in any legal proceedings as evidence of the opinion of the inspectors in relation to any matter contained in the report; and a document purporting to be such a certificate shall be received in evidence and be deemed to be such a certificate, unless the contrary is proved. The body which appointed the inspectors shall be entitled to be repaid the expenses of the investigation defrayed by it under section 56(6)(d) as provided in the following paragraphs, that is to say— by the applicants for the investigation, to such extent (if any) as the body which appointed the inspectors may direct; by any person convicted of an offence in proceedings instituted as a result of the investigation, to such extent (if any) as the court by or before which he was convicted may order; and a person liable under any one of paragraphs (a) to (c) above is entitled to contribution from any other person liable under the same paragraph, according to the amount of their respective liabilities under it. In the application of this section to a building society whose principal office is in Scotland, any reference to the High Court shall be read as a reference to the Court of Session. Every building society shall have at at least two directors. One of the directors shall be appointed to be chairman of the board of directors. Every building society shall have a chief executive, that is to say, a person who is employed by the society and who either alone or jointly with one or more other persons, is or will be responsible under the immediate authority of the directors for the conduct of the business of the society. Every building society shall have a secretary. The offices of chief executive and secretary of a building society may be held by the same person. The chief executive and the secretary of a building society shall be appointed by the directors of the society. The directors of a building society shall, as regards the appointment of the secretary or the chief executive of the society, take all reasonable steps to secure that the person appointed is a person who has the requisite knowledge and experience to discharge the functions of his office. Where a person becomes or ceases to be the chief executive of a building society, the society shall within one month give notice of that fact to the FCA , stating the person’s full name and address and the date on which he became, or ceased to be, chief executive; and the FCA shall record the person’s name and the date on which he began to hold, or, as the case may be, ceased to hold office, in the public file of the society. Anything required or authorised to be done by or to the secretary or chief executive of a building society may, if the office is vacant or there is for any other reason no secretary or chief executive capable of acting, be done by or to any assistant or deputy secretary or assistant or deputy chief executive, as the case may be, or, if there is no assistant or deputy capable of acting, by or to any officer of the society authorised generally or specially for that purpose by the directors. Except in so far as they may be co-opted by virtue of subsection (13) below, the directors of a building society must be elected to office, either— on a poll taken at the annual general meeting of the society, or by postal or electronic ballot of the members conducted during that part of the financial year of the society which precedes the date on which the annual general meeting is held, as the rules provide. Where directors of a building society are to be elected to office on a poll taken at the annual general meeting of the society, a form for the appointment of a proxy shall be sent to each person entitled to notice of the meeting. The persons entitled to vote in an election of directors of a building society are those members of the society who, on the voting date, are entitled to vote on an ordinary resolution of the society. Where, in the case of an election of directors of a building society, there are more candidates than vacancies to be filled by the election, a person entitled to vote in the election— shall have one vote in respect of every vacancy, but cannot be required to cast all or any of his votes. Where, in the case of an election of directors of a building society, there are not more candidates than vacancies to be filled by the election— a person entitled to vote in the election shall have one vote in respect of every candidate, but cannot be required to cast all or any of his votes; each vote shall be capable of being cast either for or against the candidate concerned; and a candidate shall be elected if, and only if, more votes are cast for him than against him. Subject to subsections (4A) ... and (9) below and to paragraph 5(3) of Schedule 2 to this Act, any natural person is eligible to be elected a director of a building society. A person in relation to whom there is in force a prohibition order made under section 56(2) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 shall not be eligible to be elected as a director of a building society. The rules of a building society may impose, as a condition of a person’s eligibility to be or to remain a director of the society, a requirement that he shall hold beneficially shares in the society not less in value than the amount prescribed by the rules, but the minimum holding to be required shall not exceed £1,000 or such other amount as may be substituted for it by order of the Treasury under this subsection. The rules of a building society may impose, as conditions of the validity of a person’s nomination for election as a director, requirements as to— the minimum number of members who must join in nominating him, their qualifications as respects length of membership and the value of their shares or the amount of their mortgage debt; the depositing of money with the society in connection with his candidature, but no other requirements; and rules made by virtue of this subsection must comply with section 61. A nomination of a candidate for election as a director of a building society— may be made at any time; but if made after the closing date for the nomination of candidates for the next election of directors, shall be carried forward (unless the candidate otherwise requires) as a nomination for the next election of directors after that; and in this subsection and section 61 “the closing date for the nomination of candidates”, in relation to an election of directors, means the last day of the last financial year to end before the voting date. A director of a building society shall retire from office— in any case not provided for by ... rules under section 61(10), at the third annual general meeting of the society following the date of his election, ... subject ... to any provision for his earlier retirement on the grounds of ceasing to hold the requisite shares in the society contained in the rules of the society. If the rules of a building society so provide, the directors for the time being may appoint as additional directors or to fill any vacancy on the board of directors any person who— appears to them to be fit and proper to be a director. not being a person who, having been nominated for election as a director at any election held within the preceding twelve months, was not elected as a director. A person who is co-opted under subsection (13) above shall cease to hold office at the end of the permitted period unless he is elected as a director of the society in accordance with this section within that period. The power of the Treasury to make an order under subsection (9) above— includes power to make such transitional provision as they consider necessary or expedient, and shall be exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. “ordinary resolution” means a resolution which will be effective without being passed as a special resolution or borrowing members’ resolution; “permitted period”, in relation to a co-opted director, has the meaning given by section 61(12); and “the voting date” means— in the case of an election at a meeting, the date of the meeting, except where paragraph (c) below applies; in the case of an election conducted by postal ballot or by electronic ballot in the case of which not all the voting is electronic (within the meaning of paragraph 33A of Schedule 2), the date which the society specifies as the final date for the receipt of completed ballot papers; in the case of an election conducted by electronic ballot in which all the voting is electronic voting (within the meaning of that paragraph), the date which the society specifies as the final date for registering votes; in a case where a member appoints a proxy to vote at the meeting for him, the date which the society specifies as the final date for receipt of appointments of proxies to vote at the election; and, for the purposes of this Act, the date of a person’s election to office as a director of a building society, in a case where the rules provide for election by postal or electronic ballot, is the date of the meeting at which the declaration of the result of the ballot is made. Rules made under section 60(10)(a), in order to comply with this section, must not require— in the case of a society whose total commercial assets do not exceed £100 million, more than 50 members; in the case of a society whose total commercial assets exceed £100 million but do not exceed £250 million, more than 100 members; in the case of a society whose total commercial assets exceed £250 million but do not exceed £1,000 million, more than 150 members; in the case of a society whose total commercial assets exceed £1,000 million but do not exceed £5,000 million, more than 200 members; and in the case of a society whose total commercial assets exceed £5,000 million, more than 250 members, to join in nominating a person for election as a director.

Rules under section 60(10)(b), in order to comply with this section, must not require a nominating member— to have been a member for more than two years before the date of the nomination; or if he claims eligibility as a shareholding member, to hold, or to have held at any time during that period, shares in the society to a value greater than £200; or if he claims eligibility as a borrowing member, to owe to the society, or to have owed to the society at any time during that period, a mortgage debt of an amount greater than £200. Rules made under section 60(10)(c), in order to comply with this section— must not require more than £500 to be deposited with the society; must not require the money to be deposited before the date which, under the rules, is the closing date for the nomination of candidates for the election; and must provide for the return of the deposit to the candidate in the event of his securing— not less than 5 per cent. of the total number of votes cast for all the candidates in the election; or not less than 20 per cent. of the number of votes cast for the candidate who is elected with the smallest number of votes. In subsection (1) above “total commercial assets”, in relation to a building society, means the difference between the total assets of the society as shown in the relevant accounts and the aggregate of— the liquid assets of the society as shown in those accounts in pursuance of regulations under section 72C or 72G, or in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards as appropriate; and the fixed assets of the society as so shown; and in this subsection “the relevant accounts” means the accounts which, immediately before the closing date for the nomination of candidates, were the accounts last prepared by the society under section 72A or 72E and “liquid assets” and “fixed assets”, in the case of societies which produce IAS individual accounts or IAS group accounts, have the same meaning as given in section 6(16). The Treasury may, by order, substitute— for any amount or number specified in subsection (1) above; for any amount specified in subsection (2) above; or for any amount or percentage specified in subsection (3) above, such other amount, number or percentage as they think appropriate; and the Treasury may by order vary subsection (3A) above by adding to or deleting from it any provision or by varying any provision contained in it. The power to make orders under subsection (4) above— includes power to make such transitional provision as the Treasury consider necessary or expedient, and If, before the closing date for the nomination of candidates, a duly nominated candidate for election as a director of a building society furnishes the society with an election address, or a revised election address, of not more than 500 words, then, subject to subsection (8) below— it shall be the duty of the society to send a copy of the address or, as the case may require, the revised address to each member of the society who is entitled to vote in the election; each member’s copy shall be sent in the same manner and, so far as practicable, at the same time as the notice of the meeting at which the election is to be conducted or the notice of the postal or electronic ballot is sent out, as the case may be, or as soon as is practicable thereafter; and if the building society fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also liable for the offence; but no such failure shall invalidate the election. Subsection (7B) applies where, in a case in which— a society gives notice in accordance with paragraph 22A or 22B of Schedule 2 of the meeting at which the election is to be conducted; a society gives notice of a postal ballot by which the election is to be conducted by sending it electronically to an electronic address; or a society gives notice of an electronic ballot by which the election is to be conducted, the copy of the election address or revised election address that is required to be sent to a member under subsection (7)(b) is not transmitted or published at the same time as the notice. The requirement of subsection (7)(b) to send a member his copy of the election address or revised election address in the same manner as the notice is satisfied if— a copy of the address or revised address is made available to the member in the same way as the notice; or such a copy (without being made available to the member in that way) is sent to the member in a manner set out by the society for the purpose in the notice. Where a copy of an election address or revised election address is sent to a member electronically under subsection (7B), it must be sent to an electronic address notified by the member for the purpose. The requirements of subsection (7)(b) or (7B)(a) are satisfied by the publication of a copy of the election address or revised election address on a web site only if— the notice of the election meeting or of the electronic ballot is a notice given to that member by being published on a web site; an agreement between the society and the member to his accessing information on a web site applies to copies of election addresses or revised election addresses for the meeting or ballot in question; the member is notified ... of— the publication of a copy of the address or revised address on a web site, the address of that web site, and the place on that web site where the copy may be accessed, and how it may be accessed; the notification for the purposes of paragraph (c) above is given no later than the day after the date on which the copy of the election address or revised election address is first capable of being accessed on the notified web site; and that date was the same as the date on which the notice of the election meeting or of the electronic ballot was first capable of being accessed on a web site or (in a case to which subsection (7B) applies) was as soon as practicable after that date; a copy of the election address or revised election address is continuously published on the notified web site throughout the period beginning with the day on which it was first accessible on that site and ending with the voting date (within the meaning of section 60(17)). Where, in a case in which subsection (7D) is relied on for compliance with a requirement under subsection (7)(b) or (7B)(a) above...— a copy is published for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in subsection (7D)(f), but the failure to publish it throughout that period is wholly attributable to circumstances which it would not be reasonable to have expected the society to prevent or avoid, the failure shall not invalidate the election of a director. Subsection (7) above does not require a building society to send copies of an address or a revised address to members of the society in any case where— publicity for the address or revised address would be likely to diminish substantially the confidence in the society of investing members of the public, or the rights conferred by that subsection are being abused to seek needless publicity for defamatory matter or for frivolous or vexatious purposes; and that subsection shall not be taken to confer any rights on members, or to impose any duties on a building society, in respect of an address or a revised address which does not relate directly to the affairs of the society. The FCA shall hear and determine any dispute arising under subsection (8)(a) above, whether on the application of the society or of any other person who claims to be aggrieved. The rules of a building society, if they provide for the retirement by rotation of its directors, may provide that a person elected to fill a vacant seat on the board must retire at the annual general meeting at which, in accordance with the rules for retirement by rotation, the seat is to fall vacant. Subsection (10) above applies to any vacancy arising when an elected director ceases to hold office for any reason before the annual general meeting at which ... the seat is due to fall vacant under section 60(11)(a). For the purposes of section 60(17) “the permitted period”, with reference to the tenure of office of co-opted directors, is the period beginning with the date of the co-opted director’s appointment and ending with whichever of the following first occurs, that is to say— in the case of a building society which elects its directors at its annual general meeting, the conclusion of the next such meeting following his appointment; in the case of a building society which elects its directors by postal or electronic ballot, the declaration at its annual general meeting of the result of the next such ballot conducted after his appointment; the expiration of the period of sixteen months beginning with the date of his appointment; but a general meeting or postal or electronic ballot shall be disregarded for the purposes of this paragraph if the closing date for the nomination of candidates falls before the date of the co-opted director’s appointment. Where a person becomes or ceases to be a director of a building society, the society shall within one month give notice of that fact to the FCA , stating the person’s full name and address and the date on which he became, or ceased to be, a director; and the FCA shall record the person’s name and the date on which he began to hold, or, as the case may be, ceased to hold office, in the public file of the society. If a building society fails to comply with subsection (13) above the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. A building society shall not pay a director remuneration (whether as director or otherwise) free of income tax, or otherwise calculated by reference to or varying with the amount of his income tax, or to or with any rate of income tax. Any rule of a building society and any provision of any contract, or in any resolution of a building society, for payment to a director of remuneration falling within subsection (1) above has effect as if it provided for payment, as a gross sum subject to income tax, of the net sum for which the rule, contract or resolution actually provides. It is the duty of a director of a building society who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with the society to declare the nature of his interest to the board of directors of the society in accordance with this section. In the case of a proposed contract, the declaration shall be made— at the meeting of the directors at which the question of entering into the contract is first taken into consideration; or if the director was not at the date of that meeting interested in the proposed contract, at the next meeting of the directors held after he became so interested. Where the director becomes interested in a contract after it is made, the declaration shall be made at the first meeting of the directors held after he becomes interested in the contract. For the purposes of this section, a general notice given to the directors of a building society by a director to the effect that— he is a member of a specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract which may, after the date of the notice, be made with that company or firm, or he is to be regarded as interested in any contract which may, after the date of the notice, be made with a specified person who is connected with him, is a sufficient declaration of interest in relation to any contract made after that date with that company, firm or person. A director need not make a declaration or give a notice under this section by attending in person at a meeting of the directors if he takes reasonable steps to secure that the declaration or notice is brought up and read at the meeting. The foregoing provisions of this section apply in relation to any transaction or arrangement as they apply in relation to a contract and, for the purposes of this section, a transaction or arrangement of a kind described in section 65 made by a society for a director of the society or a person connected with a director of the society is to be treated (if it would not otherwise be so treated, and whether or not it is prohibited by that section) as a transaction or arrangement in which that director is interested. A director who fails to comply with this section shall be guilty of an offence and liable— on conviction on indictment, to a fine; or A building society shall not enter into an arrangement— whereby a director of the society, or a person connected with a director of the society, acquires or is to acquire one or more non-cash assets of the requisite value from the society; or whereby the society acquires or is to acquire one or more non-cash assets of the requisite value from a director of the society or a person connected with a director of the society, unless the arrangement is first approved by a resolution of the society passed at a general meeting. For this purpose a non-cash asset is of the requisite value if at the time the arrangement in question is entered into its value is— except in a case falling within paragraph (b) below, not less than £200,000; and where the last balance sheet of the society showed reserves amounting to less than £1,000,000, not less than the higher of £2,000 or the amount which represents 10 per cent. of the reserves so shown. The Treasury may by order amend subsection (2) above so as to substitute for any of the amounts for the time being specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of that subsection such other amount as they think appropriate. The power to make an order under subsection (3) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. In this section “non-cash asset” means any property or interest in property other than cash and a reference to the acquisition of a non-cash asset includes the creation or extinction of an estate or interest in, or a right over, any property and also the discharge of any person’s liability, other than a liability for a liquidated sum. An arrangement entered into by a building society in contravention of this section, and any transaction entered into in pursuance of the arrangement (whether by the society or any other person) is voidable at the instance of the society unless— restitution of any money or other asset which is the subject matter of the arrangement or transaction is no longer possible or the society has been indemnified in pursuance of subsection (7)(b) below for the loss or damage suffered by it, or any rights acquired in good faith, for value and without actual notice of the contravention by any person who is not a party to the arrangement or transaction would be affected by its avoidance, or the arrangement is affirmed by the society at a general meeting held not later than the next annual general meeting after the entry into the arrangement. Where an arrangement or transaction is entered into with a building society by a director of the society or a person connected with him in contravention of this section then, without prejudice to any other liability but subject to subsections (8) and (9) below, that director and the person so connected, and any other director of the society who authorised the arrangement of any transaction entered into in pursuance of such an arrangement, is liable— to account to the society for any gain which he has made directly or indirectly by the arrangement or transaction, and (jointly and severally with any other person liable under this subsection) to indemnify the society for any loss or damage resulting from the arrangement or transaction. Where an arrangement or transaction is entered into by a building society and a person connected with a director of the society in contravention of this section, that director is not liable under subsection (7) above if he shows that he took all reasonable steps to secure the society’s compliance with this section. In any case, a person so connected and any such other director as is mentioned in subsection (7) above is not so liable if he shows that, at the time the arrangement was entered into, he did not know the circumstances constituting the contravention. Subject to the following provisions of this section, a building society shall not— make a loan to a director or a person connected with a director of the society; or dispose of property by way of lease or hire to a director or a person connected with a director of the society; or make a payment on behalf of a director or a person connected with a director of the society in connection with the provision of any service of a kind which is provided by building societies for individuals in the ordinary course of business; or enter into a guarantee or provide any security which is incidental to or connected with any such loan, disposal of property or payment; or take part in any arrangement whereby— another person enters into a transaction which, if it had been entered into by the society, would have contravened any of paragraphs (a) to (d) above; and that other person, in pursuance of the arrangement, has obtained or is to obtain any benefit from the society or a subsidiary of the society. Subsection (1)(a) above does not apply to— any loan of an amount which, when aggregated with any other relevant loans, does not exceed £10,000; any loan made in the ordinary course of the society’s business and of an amount not greater and made on other terms not more favourable than it is reasonable to expect the society to have offered to a person of the same financial standing but unconnected with the society; or any loan, the amount of which, when aggregated with any other relevant loans, does not exceed £200,000, made for or towards the purchase or improvement of a dwelling-house used or to be used as the director’s only or main residence if he is an executive director and loans of that description and on similar terms are ordinarily made by the society to its employees. Subsection (1)(b) above does not apply to— any lease or hiring of property the value of which, when aggregated with the value of any other relevant leases or hirings, does not exceed £20,000; or any lease or hiring made in the ordinary course of the society’s business and on terms not more favourable than it is reasonable to expect the society to have offered to a person unconnected with the society. Subsection (1)(c) above does not apply to— any payment amounting, when aggregated with any other relevant payment, to no more than £10,000 in respect of which the person on whose behalf it is made is under an obligation to reimburse the society within a period not exceeding two months beginning with the date of the payment; or any payment of an amount not greater and on other terms not more favourable than it is reasonable to expect the society to have offered to a person of the same financial standing but unconnected with the society. Subject to compliance with the requirements of subsection (6) below, subsection (1) above does not preclude a building society from doing anything to provide a director with funds to meet expenditure incurred or to be incurred by him for the purposes of the society or for the purpose of enabling him properly to perform his duties as a director of the society nor does it preclude the society from doing anything to enable a director to avoid incurring such expenditure. The following are the requirements referred to in subsection (5) above— the things must either be done with the prior approval of the society given at a general meeting at which the requisite matters are disclosed or be done on condition that, if the approval of the society is not so given at the next annual general meeting, the loan is to be repaid, or any other liability arising under the transaction is to be discharged , within six months from the conclusion of that meeting; and the amount provided, when aggregated with any other relevant provision of funds, does not exceed £40,000. The following are the requisite matters which must be disclosed for the purposes of subsection (6) above— the purpose of the expenditure incurred or to be incurred, or which would otherwise be incurred, by the director; the amount of the funds to be provided by the society; and the extent of the society’s liability under any transaction which is or is connected with the thing in question. The Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument substitute for any sum specified in this section a larger sum specified in the order. An order under subsection (8) above shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. “authorising provision” and “authorised”, in relation to a transaction of a description falling within paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of subsection (1) above, mean respectively any provision of subsection (2), (3) or (4) or constituted by subsection (5) above and any transaction or thing done to which that paragraph does not apply or which is not precluded from being done by virtue of that provision; “outstanding”, in relation to loans, means outstanding in respect of principal and interest and, in relation to the provision of funds subject to a condition for repayment or discharge of any other liability, means unpaid or undischarged to any extent; “provision of funds” includes anything else which, by virtue of subsection (5) above, a society is not precluded from doing by subsection (1) above; and “relevant”, in relation to a transaction of a description falling within paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of subsection (1) above, means an outstanding or, in the case of a lease or hiring, current transaction of that description (whether entered into by, or by arrangement with, the society) not being one authorised by any other authorising provision. “subsidiary” has the meaning given by section 1159 of the Companies Act 2006. Section 70 has effect for the interpretation, in the subsequent provisions of this Part, of references to transactions or arrangements contravening this section and to such transactions or arrangements being made “for” a person. If a building society enters into a transaction or arrangement contravening section 65, the transaction or arrangement is voidable at the instance of the society unless— restitution of any money or any other assets which is the subject matter of the arrangement or transaction is no longer possible, or the society has been indemnified in pursuance of subsection (2)(b) below for the loss or damage suffered by it, or any rights acquired in good faith, for value and without actual notice of the contravention by a person other than the person for whom the transaction or arrangement was made would be affected by its avoidance. Where a transaction or arrangement contravening section 65 is made by a building society for a director of the society or a person connected with a director of the society then, without prejudice to any other liability but subject to subsections (3) and (4) below, that director and the person so connected and any other director of the society who authorised the transaction or arrangement (whether or not is has been avoided in pursuance of subsection (1) above) is liable— to account to the society for any gain which he has made directly or indirectly by the transaction or arrangement; and (jointly and severally with any other person liable under this subsection) to indemnify the society for any loss or damage resulting from the transaction or arrangement. Where a transaction or arrangement contravening section 65 is entered into by a building society and a person connected with a director of the society, that director is not liable under subsection (2) above if he shows that he took all reasonable steps to secure the society’s compliance with that section. In any case, a person so connected and any such other director as is mentioned in subsection (2) above is not so liable if he shows that, at the time the transaction or arrangement was entered into, he did not know the circumstances constituting the contravention. A director of a building society who authorises or permits the society to enter into a transaction or arrangement knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that the society was thereby contravening section 65 is guilty of an offence. A building society which enters into a transaction or arrangement contravening section 65 for one of its directors is guilty of an offence unless it shows that, at the time the transaction or arrangement was entered into, it did not know the circumstances constituting the contravention. A person who procures a building society to enter into a transaction or arrangement knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that the society was thereby contravening section 65 is guilty of an offence. A person other than a building society who commits an offence under this section shall be liable— on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine or both; or on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or both. A building society which commits an offence under this section shall be liable on conviction on indictment or on summary conviction to a fine which, on summary conviction, shall not exceed the statutory maximum. This section applies where a building society enters into a transaction the parties to which include— a director of the society; or a person connected with such a director, and the board of directors, in connection with the transaction, exceed any limitation on their powers by reason of anything included in the society’s constitution, that is to say, its memorandum and rules. The transaction is voidable at the instance of the society. Whether or not it is avoided, any such party to the transaction as is mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (b) above, and any director of the society who authorised the transaction, is liable— to account to the society for any gain which he has made directly or indirectly by the transaction, and to indemnify the society for any loss or damage resulting from the transaction. Nothing in the above provisions shall be construed as excluding the operation of any other enactment or rule of law by virtue of which the transaction may be called in question or any liability to the society may arise. The transaction ceases to be voidable if— restitution of any money or other asset which was the subject-matter of the transaction is no longer possible, or the society is indemnified for any loss or damage resulting from the transaction, or rights acquired bona fide for value and without actual notice of the directors’ exceeding their powers by a person who is not party to the transaction would be affected by the avoidance, or the transaction is ratified by the society in general meeting, by ordinary or special resolution or otherwise as the case may require. A person other than a director of the society is not liable under subsection (3) above if he shows that at the time the transaction was entered into he did not know that the directors were exceeding their powers. This section does not affect the operation of sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 17 of Schedule 2 in relation to any party to the transaction not within subsection (1)(a) or (b) above. But where a transaction is voidable by virtue of this section and valid by virtue of that sub-paragraph in favour of such a person, the court may, on the application of that person or of the society, make such order affirming, severing or setting aside the transaction, on such terms, as appear to the court to be just. In this section “transaction” includes any act; and the reference in subsection (1) above to limitations under the society’s constitution includes limitations deriving— from a resolution of the society passed at a general or special meeting or on a postal or electronic ballot; or from any agreement between the members of the society. This section applies to any person who holds office in or is employed by a building society as director, secretary, chief excecutive, manager, solicitor, surveyor or valuer or in connection with the assessment of the adequacy of securities for loans secured on land. No person to whom this section applies shall (in addition to the remuneration prescribed or authorised by the rules or any resolution of the society) accept from any other person any commission for or in connection with any loan made by the society. If a person to whom this section applies accepts a commission in contravention of subsection (2) ab ove— both he and, subject to subsection (4) below, the person who paid it shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale; and if, having been convicted of an offence under paragraph (a) above, the person accepting the commission fails to pay over to the society the amount or value of the commission, as and when directed to do so by the court which convicted him, he shall be guilty of an offence under this paragraph and liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months. No offence under paragraph (a) of subsection (3) above is committed by the person who paid the commission unless he did so knowing the circumstances that constituted the offence under that paragraph on the part of the person who accepted it from him. a charge upon a policy of life assurance is given as additional security for a loan made by a building society, or a building society makes an additional loan to enable payment to be made of a premium on a policy of insurance, or any policy of insurance is taken out so as to comply with the terms on which a loan is made by a building society, whether by way of insuring the property given as security for the loan or otherwise, and the policy is effected through the building society, or the society nominates or selects a person by whom the policy is to be issued, it shall be unlawful for any person to whom this section applies, in connection with the effecting of the policy, to receive any commission from a person by or through whom the policy is issued. A person who pays, and a person who accepts, any commission which subsection (5) above makes it unlawful to receive shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. “charge upon a policy of life assurance”, in relation to a loan secured on land in Scotland, means an assignation in security in respect of such a policy; “commission” includes any gift, bonus or benefit; “solicitor”, in relation to England and Wales, includes any person who, for the purposes of the Legal Services Act 2007, is an authorised person in relation to an activity which constitutes a reserved instrument activity (within the meaning of that Act). A building society shall maintain a register containing a copy of every subsisting transaction or arrangement (other than an excepted transaction or arrangement) falling within section 65(1) made for a director or a person connected with a director of the society during the current financial year or any of the preceding ten financial years. In the case of a transaction or arrangement which is not in writing, there shall be kept in the register a written memorandum setting out its terms. A building society shall make available for inspection by members— at its principal office during the period of 15 days expiring with the date of its annual general meeting, and at the annual general meeting, a statement containing the requisite particulars of the transactions and arrangements falling within section 65(1) which were included in the register under subsection (1) above at any time during the last complete financial year preceding the meeting. The requisite particulars are those specified in Schedule 9 to this Act. The society must send two copies of the statement required to be made available under subsection (3) to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, one copy to the PRA, on the date on which the statement is required to be first made available to members. The FCA must keep a copy of the statement in the public file of the society. A copy of the statement required to be so made available shall also be sent, on demand and on payment of such fee (not exceeding £5) as the society may from time to time determine, to any member of the society. Where a copy of a statement is required to be sent to a member under subsection (6)— it may be sent to him electronically only if it is sent to an electronic address notified by the member for the purpose; but the requirement to send it shall also be treated as satisfied if the conditions set out in subsection (6B) are satisfied. The conditions of this subsection are satisfied in the case of a copy of a statement if— the society and the member have agreed that information that is required to be sent to him may instead be accessed by him on a web site; the agreement applies to the statement in question; the publication of the statement on a web site, the place on that web site where the statement may be accessed, and how it may be accessed; and a copy of the statement continues to be published on that web site throughout the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the society notifies the member in accordance with paragraph (c). There are excepted from the obligations imposed by this section on a building society with respect to a financial year all transactions or arrangements made or subsisting during that year for a person who was at any time during that year a director of the society or was connected with a director of the society if the aggregate of the values of each transaction or arrangement made for that person, less the amount (if any) by which the value of those transactions or arrangements has been reduced, did not exceed £2,000 at any time during that year There are also excepted from the obligations imposed by this section on a building society with respect to a financial year all transactions or arrangements falling within paragraphs (b), (d) or (e) of section 65(1) made during that year for a person who was at any time during that year a director of the society or was connected with a director of the society if the aggregate of the values of each such transaction or arrangement so made for that director or any person connected with him, less the amount (if any) by which the value of those transactions or arrangements has been reduced, did not exceed £10,000 at any time during that year. The Treasury may by order amend subsection (7) or (8) above so as to substitute for the amount for the time being specified in that subsection such other amount as they think appropriate. The power to make an order under subsection (9) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. If a building society fails to comply with any provision of this section (or Schedule 9) the society shall be liable on conviction on indictment or on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding, on summary conviction, the statutory maximum, and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. Where, in a case in which subsection (6A)(b) is relied on for compliance with a requirement of subsection (6)— a statement is published for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in subsection (6B)(d), but no offence is committed under subsection (11) by reason of that failure. Where, at any time during a financial year of a building society, a person both is a director or other officer of a building society and is, or is a director of or partner in, a business associate of the society, this section shall apply, as respects that year, to that person in relation to the business of the business associate. A person is a “business associate” of a building society in any financial year of the society if that person— carries on a business which consists of or includes the provision of relevant services, provides relevant services during that year to, or to other persons in connection with loans secured on land made by, the society and is not a connected undertaking of the society; and “associated” has a corresponding meaning. The following are relevant services— conveyancing services provided by a solicitor; surveying and valuing land or other property; accountancy services; arranging for the provision of insurance against loss of or damage to property or on human life; any other services designated as relevant services. Where a business associate of a building society provides the society with services which are relevant services by virtue of subsection (3) above, any administrative services provided to the society by the business associate are also relevant services. The Treasury may by order in a statutory instrument— designate as relevant services services of any description specified in the order which are normally provided to building societies; and make such incidental, supplementary or transitional provision as they consider necessary or expedient; and in subsection (3)(e) above “designated” means designated by an order under this subsection. Where this section applies, as respects a financial year of a building society, to a person as a director or other officer of the society in relation to the business of a business associate, that person shall furnish the society with the requisite particulars of that business. The requisite particulars of the business of a business associate of a building society are— except where an election under paragraph (b) below is in force, those specified in Part I of Schedule 10 to this Act; if a building society elects to adopt Part II of that Schedule for its directors and other officers as respects a financial year, those specified in Part II of that Schedule; and as regards relevant services designated by an order under subsection (5) above, such particulars as are specified in the order; and Part III of the Schedule has effect to supplement Parts I and II and includes a definition of “the volume of the business” for the purposes of this section. An election by a building society to adopt Part II of Schedule 10 as regards the requisite particulars to be furnished by its directors and other officers must be made in writing to the FCA before the beginning of the financial year as respects which it is made and the requisite particulars must be furnished in writing within the period of six weeks beginning with the end of the financial year for which they are required. For the purpose of enabling him to furnish the requisite particulars of the business of a business associate of a building society the person who is under the obligation to furnish them to the society may require any person who is a member of or partner in, or holds any office or employment with, the business associate to furnish him with such information relating to its business as he may reasonably require for that purpose. Any person who, without reasonable excuse— fails to furnish the particulars required by subsection (6) above or furnishes particulars which are false or misleading in a material particular or, in the case of particulars under Part II to Schedule 10, are not a justified estimate, or fails to furnish any information lawfully required of him under subsection (9) above or furnishes information which is false or misleading in a material particular, shall be liable on conviction on indictment or on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding, on summary conviction, the statutory maximum. Subject to subsection (12) below, a building society shall maintain at its principal office a register containing the particulars furnished to it under subsection (6) above as respects the last financial year and each of the ten financial years preceding that year. No particulars of the business of a business associate of a building society need be kept in the register provided for by subsection (11) above as respects any financial year of the society in which the volume of the business of which the requisite particulars are required did not exceed £10,000 or such other sum as may be substituted for it by order of the Treasury in a statutory instrument under this subsection. a statement containing the particulars required to be kept in the register under subsection (11) above as respects the last financial year. The society must send two copies of the statement required to be made available under subsection (13) to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, one copy to the PRA, on the date on which the statement is required to be first made available to members.

After the first financial year in which the directors of a building society prepare IAS individual accounts (“the first IAS year”), all subsequent individual accounts of the society must be prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards unless there is a relevant change of circumstance. There is a relevant change of circumstance if, at any time during or after the first IAS year, the society ceases to have any securities admitted to trading on a UK regulated market. If, having changed to preparing Building Societies Act individual accounts following a relevant change of circumstance, the directors again prepare IAS individual accounts for the society, subsections (3) and (4) apply again as if the first financial year for which such accounts are again prepared were the first IAS year. Building Societies Act individual accounts must comprise – a balance sheet as at the last day of the financial year, and an income and expenditure account. The balance sheet must give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the society as at the end of the financial year; and the income and expenditure account must give a true and fair view of the income and expenditure of the society for the financial year. Building Societies Act individual accounts must comply with the requirements of regulations made under section 72C as to the form and content of the balance sheet and income and expenditure account and additional information to be provided by way of notes to the accounts or otherwise.

If in special circumstances compliance with any of those provisions is inconsistent with the requirement to give a true and fair view, the directors must depart from that provision to the extent necessary to give a true and fair view. Particulars of any such departure, the reasons for it and its effect must be given in a note to the accounts. The Treasury may by regulations– add to the classes of documents to be comprised in a society’s Building Societies Act individual accounts under subsection (1); make provision as to the matters to be included in any document so added; modify the requirements of this Part as to the matters to be stated in any document comprised in the society’s Building Societies Act individual accounts; reduce the classes of documents to be comprised in a society’s Building Societies Act individual accounts.

Where the directors of a building society prepare IAS individual accounts, they must state in the notes to those accounts that the accounts have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards. If at the end of a financial year a building society has subsidiary undertakings, the directors, as well as preparing individual accounts for the year, shall prepare accounts for the year for the society and those undertakings taken as a whole.Those accounts are referred to in this Part as the society’s “group accounts”. The group accounts of certain societies are required by section 403(1) of the Companies Act 2006 to be prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards (“IAS group accounts”). The group accounts of other societies may be prepared– in accordance with section 72F (“Building Societies Act group accounts”), or in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards (“IAS group accounts”). This subsection is subject to the following provisions of this section. After the first financial year in which the directors of a building society prepare IAS group accounts (“the first IAS year”), all subsequent group accounts of the society must be prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards unless there is a relevant change of circumstance. If, having changed to preparing Building Societies Act group accounts following a relevant change of circumstance, the directors again prepare IAS group accounts for the society, subsection (4) and (5) apply again as if the first financial year for which such accounts are again prepared were the first IAS year. Building Societies Act group accounts must comprise– a balance sheet dealing with the state of affairs of the building society and its subsidiary undertakings, and an income and expenditure account showing the income and expenditure for the society and its subsidiary undertakings. Building Societies Act group accounts must give a true and fair view of the state of affairs as at the end of the financial year, and the income and expenditure for the financial year of the society and the subsidiary undertakings included in the group accounts as a whole, so far as concerns members of the society.

The Treasury shall by regulations make provision with respect to the form and contents of Building Societies Act group accounts. The Treasury may by regulations make provision with respect to additional information to be contained in Building Societies Act group accounts, whether in the form of notes or otherwise. permit group accounts to be prepared in other than consolidated form.

The directors of a building society that prepares group accounts must secure that the individual accounts of– the building society, and each of its subsidiary undertakings, are all prepared using the same financial reporting framework, except to the extent that in their opinion there are good reasons for not doing so. Subsection (1) only applies to accounts of subsidiary undertakings which are required to be prepared under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. Subsection (1) does not require accounts of undertakings that are charities to be prepared using the same financial reporting framework as accounts of undertakings which are not charities. Subsection (1)(a) does not apply where the directors of a building society prepare IAS group accounts and IAS individual accounts. The directors of a society which has subsidiary undertakings must secure that, except where in their opinion there are good reasons against it, the financial year of each of its subsidiary undertakings coincides with the society’s own financial year. The information specified in Schedule 10A must be given in notes to a building society’s annual accounts. In that Schedule— Part 1 relates to emoluments and other benefits of directors and others, and to loans and other dealings in favour of directors and connected persons, and Part 2 relates to information about the employees of a society. It is the duty of any director of a society, and any person who is or has at any time in the preceding five years been an officer of the society, to give notice to the society of such matters relating to himself as may be necessary for the purposes of Part 1 of Schedule 10A.

In this section “modify” includes amend, add to or repeal. The information specified in Schedule 10B must be given in notes to a building society’s annual accounts. In the case of a building society whose directors are not required to prepare consolidated group accounts, the information specified in Part 1 of that Schedule must be given. In the case of a building society whose directors are required to prepare consolidated group accounts, the information specified in Part 2 of that Schedule must be given. The Treasury may, by order, modify the provisions of Schedule 10B. If in any financial year— a building society is or has been party to arrangements that are not reflected in its balance sheet, and at the balance sheet date the risks or benefits arising from those arrangements are material, the information required by this section must be given in notes to the society’s annual accounts. The information required is— the nature and business purpose of the arrangements, and the financial impact of the arrangements on the society. The information need only be given to the extent necessary for enabling the financial position of the society to be assessed. Where a building society is required to prepare consolidated group accounts, this section applies in relation to those accounts as if the undertakings included in the consolidation were a single building society. The information specified in Schedule 10C must be given in notes to a building society’s annual accounts. The Treasury may, by order, modify the provisions of Schedule 10C. The directors of every building society shall, by reference to the annual accounts and other records and information at their disposal, prepare with respect to each financial year of the society a statement (referred to in this Act as “the annual business statement”) relating to prescribed aspects of the business of the society during the year.

Treasury, and a statement as to the matters mentioned in subsection (1A) below. The said matters are— whether the society has acquired or established, or allowed a subsidiary undertaking to acquire or establish, a business to which subsection (3) and subsection (4) or, as the case may be, subsection (5) of section 92A applied; if the society has acquired or established, or allowed such an undertaking to acquire or establish, such a business, what the business is and whether the society complied with the requirements of subsection (1) of that section; and if the society did not comply with those requirements, why the society nevertheless proceeded, or allowed the undertaking to proceed, with the acquisition or establishment. If the building society has subsidiary undertakings, the report may, where appropriate, give greater emphasis to those matters which are significant to the society and its subsidiary undertakings taken as a whole. The power to make regulations under subsection (1) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. If a directors’ report does not contain the review, information and statement required by subsection (1) above and, where applicable, the review required by subsection (2) above, each director shall be liable on conviction on indictment or on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding, on summary conviction, the statutory maximum. The review required for the purposes of section 75(1) is a balanced and comprehensive analysis of— the development and performance of the business of the building society and its connected undertakings (if any) during the financial year, and the position of the building society and its connected undertakings (if any) at the end of that year, consistent with the size and complexity of the business. The review must, to the extent necessary for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the business of the society and its connected undertakings (if any), include— analysis using financial key performance indicators, and where appropriate, analysis using other key performance indicators, including information relating to environmental matters and employee matters. The review must, where appropriate, include references to and additional explanations of amounts included in the annual accounts of the society. In this section “key performance indicators” means factors by reference to which the development, performance or position of the business of the society and any connected undertakings it has can be measured most effectively. The directors of a building society shall, with respect to each financial year, prepare for members and depositors a summary financial statement for that year, that is to say, a statement derived from the annual accounts, annual business statement and director’s report, giving a summary account of the society’s financial development during and financial position at the end of the year. Where the society has connected undertakings the statement shall (so far as they are dealt with in the group accounts) give an account of the financial development and position of the society and its connected undertakings. The Treasury may by regulations make provision with respect to— the form of the summary financial statement, and the information which must be included in it. Every summary financial statement shall also include in the prescribed form statements to the effect that— it is only a summary of information in the accounts, business statement and directors’ report; in so far as it summarises the information in the accounts, those accounts have been audited; the accounts, business statement and director’s report will be available to members and depositors free of charge on demand at every office of the society after a specified date. Every summary financial statement shall include a statement of the auditor’s opinion as to its consistency with the accounts, business statement and directors’ report and its conformity with the requirements of this section and regulations made under it.

Not later than 21 days before the date of the annual general meeting at which the accounts and reports are to be considered, the society shall send one copy of the documents to which this subsection applies to every member of the society who is entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and two copies of the documents to which this subsection applies to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, one copy to the PRA . The documents to which subsection (8) applies are— the summary financial statement, and where subsection (8) extends under section 78(6) to the auditor’s report also, the auditor’s report. The society shall also— publish the summary financial statement and (where applicable) the auditor's report on a web site, and ensure that the statement and (where applicable) the report may be accessed on the web site until the publication of the next summary financial statement. Where a copy of the summary financial statement or of the auditor’s report is required to be sent to a member under subsection (8)— it may be sent to him electronically only if it is sent to an electronic address notified to the society by the member for the purpose; but the requirement to send it shall also be treated as satisfied if the conditions set out in subsection (8C) are satisfied. The conditions of this subsection are satisfied in the case of a copy of a summary financial statement or auditor’s report if— the agreement applies to the summary financial statement or auditor’s report in question; the publication of the summary financial statement and (where applicable) the auditor’s report on a web site, the place on that web site where the statement and (where applicable) the report may be accessed, and how it may be accessed; the notification given for the purposes of paragraph (c) is given not less than 21 days before the date of the annual general meeting at which the accounts and reports are to be considered; and a copy of the statement and (where applicable) the report is published on the web site throughout a period beginning at least 21 days before the date of meeting. Where, in a case in which subsection (8C) is relied on for compliance with a requirement of subsection (8)— a copy of a summary financial statement or auditor’s report is published for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in subsection (8C)(e), and the failure to publish it throughout that period is wholly attributable to circumstances which it would not be reasonable to have expected the society or the officer to prevent or avoid, the failure shall not invalidate the proceedings of the meeting at which the accounts and reports are considered, and no offence is committed under subsection (10) by reason of that failure. If, at any time during the period beginning with the publication of the summary financial statement and ending with the publication of the next summary financial statement, an individual for the first time subscribes for shares in the society, the society shall at that time notify the individual of the information in subsection (8C)(c)(i) to (iii). In a case where subsection (8E) applies, the society is not required under section 115B (right to hard copy version) to send the individual a version of the summary financial statement or (where applicable) the auditor's report in hard copy form (within the meaning of that section). If default is made by a building society in complying with subsection (8) above, the society shall be liable on summary conviction— in the case of a continuing offence, to an additional fine not exceeding £200 for every day during which the offence continues, and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. If default is made by a building society in complying with subsection (8AA) or (8E) above, the society shall be liable on summary conviction— to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale; and in the case of a continuing offence, to an additional fine not exceeding £40 for every day during which the offence continues, The FCA shall keep one of the copies of the summary financial statement received by it under subsection (8) above in the public file of the society. Every building society shall at each annual general meeting appoint an auditor or auditors to hold office from the conclusion of that meeting until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting. Schedule 11 to this Act has effect as regards the appointment, resignation and removal of auditors. Appointment as auditor of a building society is an appointment as a statutory auditor to which the provisions of Part 42 of the Companies Act 2006 apply. The auditor of a building society shall make a written report to the members on the annual accounts which are to be laid before the society at the annual general meeting during his tenure of office. The auditor’s report shall . . . be open to inspection by any member at the annual general meeting of the building society.

The auditor's report must— be either unqualified or qualified, include a reference to any matters to which the auditor wishes to draw attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report, include a statement on any material uncertainty relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the building society's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting, and identify the auditor's place of establishment. If the auditor’s report includes a qualification of his opinion that the annual accounts give a true and fair view of the matters specified in subsection (4)(a) above, subsection (8) of section 76 extends also to the auditor’s report. The auditor's report, in so far as it deals with the documents specified in subsection (3) above, must— state whether, in his opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit— the documents have been prepared so as to conform to the requirements of, or made under, sections 74 and 75 respectively, the information given in the annual business statement gives a true representation of the matters in respect of which it is given, and the information given in the directors' report for the financial year for which the accounts are prepared is consistent with those accounts, state whether, in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the building society and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, the auditor has identified material misstatements in the directors' report, and if applicable, give an indication of the nature of each of the misstatements referred to in paragraph (b). The auditor’s report on the annual business statement shall not deal with any matters which, by virtue of section 74(6), are not to be the subject of report under this section. The auditor of a building society shall, as regards the statement of particulars of transactions falling within section 65 which the society is to make available for "inspection by members under section 68(3), examine the statement before it is made available to members and make a report to the members on it; and the report shall be annexed to the statement before it is so made available. The auditor’s report under subsection (9) above shall state whether in his opinion the statement contains the particulars required by section 68; and where his opinion is that it does not, he shall include in his report, so far as he is reasonably able to do so, a statement giving the requisite particulars. Where more than one person is appointed as an auditor— all the persons appointed must jointly make a report under this section and the report must include a statement as to whether all the persons appointed agree— on the matters contained in the report, and on the statements and indications given under subsection (7); and if all the persons appointed cannot agree on— the matters contained in the report, or on the statements and indications given under subsection (7), the report must include the opinions of each person appointed and give reasons for the disagreement. The auditor’s report must state the name of the auditor (or, where more than one person is appointed as auditor, all of their names) and be signed and dated. Where the auditor is an individual, the report must be signed by him. Where the auditor is a firm, the report must be signed by the senior statutory auditor in his own name, for and on behalf of the auditor. Where more than one person is appointed as auditor, the report must be signed by all those appointed. The senior statutory auditor means the individual identified by the firm as senior statutory auditor in relation to the audit in accordance with the standards or guidance mentioned in section 504(1) of the Companies Act 2006. The person identified as senior statutory auditor must be eligible for appointment as auditor of the building society in question (see Chapter 2 of Part 42 of the Companies Act 2006). The senior statutory auditor is not, by reason of being named or identified as senior statutory auditor or by reason of his having signed the auditor’s report, subject to any civil liability to which he would not otherwise be subject. The copy of the auditor’s report sent ... under section 81, and every copy of the auditor’s report that is published by or on behalf of the society, must— state the name of the auditor and (where the auditor is a firm) the name of the person who signed it as senior statutory auditor, or if the conditions in section 78D (circumstances in which names may be omitted) are met, state that a resolution has been passed and notified ... in accordance with that section. If more than one person is appointed as auditor, the reference in subsection (1)(a) to the name of the auditor is to be read as a reference to the names of all the auditors. For the purposes of this section a building society is regarded as publishing the report if it publishes, issues or circulates it or otherwise makes it available for public inspection in a manner calculated to invite members of the public generally, or any class of members of the public, to read it. If a copy of the auditor’s report is sent to the FCA or published without the statement required by this section, an offence is committed by— the society, and every officer of the society who is in default. A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. An auditor’s name and, where the auditor is a firm, the name of the person who signed the report as senior statutory auditor, may be omitted from— the copy of the report sent ... under section 81, and published copies of the report, if the following conditions are met. The conditions are that the building society— considering on reasonable grounds that statement of the name would create or be likely to create a serious risk that the auditor or the senior statutory auditor, or any other person, would be subject to violence or intimidation, has resolved by an ordinary resolution that the name should not be stated, and has given notice of the resolution to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA , stating— the name of the society, the financial year of the society to which the report relates, and the name of the auditor and (where the auditor is a firm) the name of the person who signed the report as senior statutory auditor. It is the duty of the auditor of a building society in preparing his report to the members under section 78, to carry out such investigations as will enable him to form an opinion as to the following matters— whether adequate accounting records have been kept under section 71, whether the annual accounts are in agreement with the accounting records. If the auditor is of the opinion that— adequate accounting records have not been kept under section 71, or the annual accounts are not in agreement with the accounting records, the auditor must state that fact in his report. Every auditor of a building society has— a right of access at all times to the accounting and other records of the society and all other documents relating to its business, and a right to require from the officers of the society such information and explanations as he thinks necessary for the performance of the duties of the auditors. Where a building society has a connected undertaking, then— if the connected undertaking is a body corporate incorporated in any part of the United Kingdom, it is the duty of the connected undertaking and its auditor to give to the society’s auditor such information and explanation, and such access to documents, as that auditor may reasonably require for the purposes of his duties as auditor of the society; in any other case, it is the duty of the society, if required by its auditor to do so, to take all such steps as are reasonably open to it to obtain from the connected undertaking such information and explanation and such access as are mentioned above. Subsection (4) above applied as regards any body associated with the society which is not a subsidiary undertaking as it applies as regards a subsidiary undertaking of the society. If the auditor fails to obtain all the information and explanations and the access to documents which, to the best of his knowledge and belief, are necessary for the purposes of his audit, he shall state that fact in his report. Where more than one person is appointed as auditor, the report must include a statement as to whether all the persons appointed agree on any statements given under subsections (2) and (6) and, if they cannot agree on those statements, the report must include the opinions of each person appointed and give reasons for the disagreement. The auditor of a building society have the right— to attend any general meeting of the society, and to receive all notices of and other communications relating to any general meeting which any member of the society is entitled to receive, and to be heard at any meeting which he attends on any part of the business of the meeting which concerns him as auditor. If a building society or other body corporate fails to comply with subsection (4) above, the society or other body shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale and so shall any officer of the society or, as the case may be, of the other body who is also guilty of the offence; and if an auditor fails without reasonable excuse to comply with paragraph (a) of that subsection he shall be liable, on summary conviction, to such a fine. If a person who is an officer of a building society or of a body which is a connected undertaking of the society knowingly or recklessly makes to the auditor of that or another society or body a statement which— conveys or purports to convey any information or explanation which the auditor requires, or is entitled to require, as auditor of the society or other body, as the case may be, and is false or misleading in a material particular, that person shall be liable— on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine, or both; and on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum, or both. Every balance sheet of a building society shall be signed by one director on behalf of the board of directors .... The income and expenditure account, . . . and the annual business statement shall be annexed to the balance sheet, and so shall any group accounts; and the auditor’s report shall be attached to it. The income and expenditure account, . . . and the annual business statement shall be approved by the board of directors before the balance sheet is signed on their behalf, and so shall any group accounts; and the date of their approval of those documents shall be endorsed on the balance sheet. The directors’ report shall be attached to the balance sheet. If a balance sheet has not been signed as required by subsection (1) above, and a copy of it is issued, circulated or published, the building society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. If any copy of a balance sheet is issued, circulated or published— without having annexed to it a copy of the income and expenditure account, or without having annexed to it a copy of the annual business statement, or without having attached to it a copy of the auditor’s report, or without having attached to it a copy of the directors’ report, the building society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. The directors of every building society shall lay before the society at the annual general meeting the annual accounts for the last financial year. The directors of every building society shall send two copies of the annual accounts for the last financial year to the FCA, and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, one copy to the PRA, not later than 14 days before the annual general meeting at which the accounts are to be considered. Every building society shall, as from the date by which at the latest its directors are required to send them to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA , make copies of the annual accounts available free of charge to members of and depositors with the society at every office of the society and, free of charge, shall send copies of those documents to any member or depositor who demands it. Where a copy of the annual accounts is required to be sent to a member or depositor under subsection (3)— they may be sent to him electronically only if they are sent to an electronic address notified to the society by that member or depositor for the purpose; but the requirement to send them shall also be treated as satisfied if the conditions set out in subsection (3B) are satisfied. The conditions of this subsection are satisfied in the case of a copy of the annual accounts if— the society and the member or depositor have agreed that information that is required to be sent to him may instead be accessed by him on a web site; the agreement applies to the annual accounts in question; within seven days of his demand, the member or depositor is notified ... of— the publication of the accounts on a web site, the place on that web site where the accounts may be accessed, and how they may be accessed; and the accounts are published on that web site throughout the period beginning on the date on which the member or depositor is notified in accordance with paragraph (c) and ending with the conclusion of the annual general meeting at which the accounts are to be considered. If default is made in complying with subsection (1) or (2) above, every person who was a director at any time during the relevant period shall be liable on summary conviction— If, on demand made of it under subsection (3) above, a building society fails, in accordance with that subsection, to make available or, as the case may be, within seven days of the demand, to send, to a person a copy of the annual accounts the society shall be liable on summary conviction— Where, in a case in which subsection (3A)(b) is relied on for compliance with a requirement under subsection (3)— a copy of the annual accounts is published for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in subsection (3B)(d), but no offence is committed under subsection (5) by reason of that failure. In subsection (4) above “the relevant period” means the period beginning at the end of the last financial year and ending with the date which falls 14 days before the annual general meeting following the end of that year. The FCA shall keep one of the copies of the annual accounts of a building society received by it under subsection (2) above in the public file of the society. In this section any reference to the annual accounts includes a reference to the documents annexed or attached to them under section 80. If a building society publishes any of its statutory accounts, they must be accompanied by the relevant auditor’s report under section 78. A building society that is required to prepare group accounts for a financial year must not publish its statutory individual accounts for that year without also publishing with them its statutory group accounts. If a building society publishes non-statutory accounts, it must publish with them a statement indicating— that they are not the society’s statutory accounts, whether statutory accounts dealing with any financial year with which the non-statutory accounts purport to deal have been prepared, whether the society’s auditor has made a report under section 78 on the statutory accounts for any financial year, and whether any such auditor’s report — was qualified or unqualified, or included a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report, or contained a statement under section 79(6) (failure to obtain necessary information and explanations); and it must not publish with any non-statutory accounts any auditor’s report made under section 78. For the purposes of this section a building society is regarded as publishing a document if it publishes, issues or circulates it or otherwise makes it available for public inspection in a manner calculated to invite members of the public generally, or any class of members of the public, to read it. References in this section to a building society’s statutory accounts are to its annual accounts as required to be laid before the society under section 81; and references to the publication by a society of “non-statutory accounts” are to the publication of— any balance sheet or income and expenditure account relating to, or purporting to deal with, a financial year or part of a financial year of the society, or an account in any form purporting to be a balance sheet or income and expenditure account for the group consisting of the society and its subsidiary undertakings relating to, or purporting to deal with, a financial year or part of a financial year of the society, otherwise than as part of the society’s statutory accounts or summary financial statement prepared under section 76. A building society which contravenes any provision of this section, and any officer of it who is in default, is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. In this Part— “annual accounts”, in relation to a building society, means— the individual accounts required by section 72A, and any group accounts required by section 72E,together with the notes to those accounts; “income and expenditure account”, in relation to a society which prepares IAS accounts, includes an income statement or other equivalent financial statement required to be prepared by UK-adopted international accounting standards; “UK-adopted international accounting standards” has the meaning given by section 474(1) of the Companies Act 2006; “UK regulated market” has the meaning given in Article 2.1.13A of Regulation (EU) No. 600/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 and amending Regulation (EU) No. 648/2012. References in this Part to accounts giving a “true and fair view” are references— in the case of Building Societies Act individual accounts, to the requirement under section 72B that such accounts give a true and fair view; in the case of Building Societies Act group accounts, to the requirement under section 72F that such accounts give a true and fair view; and in the case of IAS accounts, to the requirement under UK-adopted international accounting standards that such accounts achieve a fair presentation. Schedule 14 to this Act shall have effect for the settlement of certain disputes between a building society and a member, or representative of a member, of the society or, as provided by Part II of the Schedule, between a building society and one or more members of the society or a complainant. Nothing in that Schedule affects the jurisdiction of any court to hear and determine disputes arising out of any mortgage or any contract other than the rules of a society. A building society— may be dissolved by consent of the members, or may be wound up voluntarily or by the court, in accordance with this Part; and a building society may not, except where it is dissolved by virtue of section 93(5), 94(10) or 97(9), or following building society insolvency or building society special administration, be dissolved or wound up in any other manner. A building society which is in the course of dissolution by consent, or is being wound up voluntarily, may be wound up by the court. A building society may be dissolved by an instrument of dissolution, with the consent (testified by their signature of that instrument) of three-quarters of the members of the society, holding not less than two-thirds of the number of shares in the society. An instrument of dissolution under this section shall set out— the liabilities and assets of the society in detail; the number of members, and the amount standing to their credit in the accounting records of the society; the claims of depositors and other creditors, and the provision to be made for their payment; the intended appropriation or division of the funds and property of the society; the names of one or more persons to be appointed as trustees for the purposes of the dissolution, and their remuneration. An instrument of dissolution made with consent given and testified as mentioned in subsection (1) above may be altered with the like consent, testified in the like manner. The provisions of this Act shall continue to apply in relation to a building society as if the trustees appointed under the instrument of dissolution were the board of directors of the society. The trustees, within 15 days of the necessary consent being given and testified (in accordance with subsection (1) above) to— an instrument of dissolution, or any alteration to such an instrument, shall give notice to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA of the fact and, except in the case of an alteration to an instrument, of the date of commencement of the dissolution, enclosing a copy of the instrument or altered instrument, as the case may be; and if the trustees fail to comply with this subsection they shall each be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.

An instrument of dissolution under this section, or an alteration to such an instrument, shall be binding on all members of the society as from the date on which the copy of the instrument or altered instrument, as the case may be, is placed in the public file of the society under subsection (10) below. The trustees shall, within 28 days from the termination of the dissolution, give notice to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA of the fact and the date of the termination, enclosing an account and balance sheet signed and certified by them as correct, and showing the assets and liabilities of the society at the commencement of the dissolution, and the way in which those assets and liabilities have been applied and discharged; and, if they fail to do so they shall each be liable on summary conviction— to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale, and in the case of a continuing offence, to an additional fine not exceeding £10 for every day during which the offence continues. Except with the consent of the appropriate authority , no instrument of dissolution, or alteration of such an instrument, shall be of any effect if the purpose of the proposed dissolution or alteration is to effect or facilitate the transfer of the society’s engagements to any other society or the transfer of its business to a company. Any provision in a resolution or document that members of a building society proposed to be dissolved shall accept investments in a company or another society (whether in shares, deposits or any other form) in or towards satisfaction of their rights in the dissolution shall be conclusive evidence of such a purpose as is mentioned in subsection (8) above. The FCA shall keep in the public file of the society any notice or other document received by it under subsection (5) or (7) above and shall record in that file the date on which the notice or document is placed in it. A building society may be wound up voluntarily under the applicable winding up legislation if it resolves by special resolution that it be wound up voluntarily, but a resolution may not be passed if— the conditions in section 90D are not satisfied, or the society is in building society insolvency or building society special administration. A resolution under subsection (1) shall have no effect without the prior approval of the court. A copy of any special resolution passed for the voluntary winding up of a building society"shall be sent by the society to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA within 15 days after it is passed; and the FCA must keep a copy in the public file of the society. A copy of any such resolution shall be annexed to every copy of the memorandum or of the rules issued after the passing of the resolution. If a building society fails to comply with subsection (2) or (3) above the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. For the purposes of this section, a liquidator of the society shall be treated as an officer of it. A building society may be wound up under the applicable winding up legislation by the court on any of the followng grounds in addition to the grounds referred to or specified in section 37(1), that is to say, if— the society has by special resolution resolved that it be wound up by the court; the number of members is reduced below ten; the number of directors is reduced below two; being a society registered as a building society under this Act or the repealed enactments, the society has not been given permission under Part 4A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 to accept deposits and more than three years has expired since it was so registered; the society’s permission under Part 4A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 to accept deposits has been cancelled (and no such permission has subsequently been given to it); the society exists for an illegal purpose; the society is unable to pay its debts; or the court is of the opinion that it is just and equitable that the society should be wound up. Except as provided by subsection (3) below, section 37 or the applicable winding up legislation, a petition for the winding up of a building society may be presented by— the FCA, after consulting the PRA if the society is a PRA-authorised person, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA, after consulting the FCA, the building society or its directors, any creditor or creditors (including any contingent or any prospective creditor), or any contributory or contributories, or by all or any of those parties, together or separately. A contributory may not present a petition unless either— the number of members is reduced below ten, or the share in respect of which he is a contributory has been held by him, or has devolved to him on the death of a former holder and between them been held, for at least six months before the commencement of the winding up. For the purposes of this section, in relation to a building society, the reference to its existing for an illegal purpose includes a reference to its existing after it has ceased to comply with the requirement imposed by section 5(1)(a) (purpose or principal purpose). In this section, “contributory” has the same meaning as in paragraph 9(2) or, as the case may be, paragraph 37(2) of Schedule 15 to this Act. On a petition for a winding up order or an application for an administration order in respect of a building society the court may, instead, make a building society insolvency order (under section 94 of the Banking Act 2009 as applied by section 90C below). A building society insolvency order may be made under subsection (1) only— on the application of the appropriate authority made with the consent of the Bank of England, or on the application of the Bank of England. In this section “the companies winding up legislation” means the enactments applicable in relation to England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland which are specified in paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 to this Act (including any enactment which creates an offence by any person arising out of acts or omissions occurring before the commencement of the winding up). In its application to the winding up of a building society, by virtue of section 88(1) or 89(1), the companies winding up legislation shall have effect with the modifications effected by Parts I to III of Schedule 15 to this Act; and the supplementary provisions of Part IV of that Schedule shall also have effect in relation to such a winding up. In sections 37, 88, 89 and 103, “the applicable winding up legislation” means the companies winding up legislation as so modified. For the purpose of— enabling voluntary arrangements to be approved in relation to building societies, enabling administration orders to be made in relation to building societies, and making provision with respect to persons appointed in England and Wales , Scotland or Northern Ireland as receivers and managers , or receivers, of building societies’ property, the enactments specified in paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 15A to this Act shall apply in relation to building societies with the modifications specified in that Schedule. The Treasury may by order make provision for the purpose of ensuring that, on the winding up, or dissolution by consent, of a building society, any assets available for satisfying the society's liabilities to creditors or to shareholders are applied in satisfying those liabilities pari passu. Liabilities to creditors do not include— liabilities in respect of subordinated deposits; liabilities in respect of preferential debts; any other category of liability which the Treasury specifies in the order for the purposes of this paragraph. Liabilities to shareholders do not include liabilities in respect of deferred shares. A preferential debt is a debt which constitutes a preferential debt for the purposes of any of the enactments specified in paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 to this Act (or which would constitute such a debt if the society were being wound up). make amendments of this Act; make different provision for different purposes; make such consequential, supplementary, transitional and saving provision as appears to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient. The power to make an order under this section is exercisable by statutory instrument but no such order may be made unless a draft of it has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. Parts 2 (Bank Insolvency) and 3 (Bank Administration) of the Banking Act 2009 shall apply in relation to building societies with any modifications specified in an order made under section 130 or 158 of that Act and with the modifications specified in subsection (2) below. In the application of Parts 2 and 3 of that Act to building societies— references to “bank” (except in the term “bridge bank” and the terms specified in paragraphs (b) and (c)) have effect as references to “building society”; references to “bank insolvency”, “bank insolvency order”, “bank liquidation” and “bank liquidator” have effect as references to “building society insolvency”, “building society insolvency order”, “building society liquidation” and “building society liquidator”; references to “bank administration”, “bank administration order” and “bank administrator” have effect as references to “building society special administration”, “building society special administration order” and “building society special administrator”. An application for an administration order in respect of a building society may not be determined unless the conditions below are satisfied. A petition for a winding up order in respect of a building society may not be determined unless the conditions below are satisfied. A resolution for voluntary winding up of a building society may not be passed unless the conditions below are satisfied. An administrator of a building society may not be appointed unless the conditions below are satisfied. Condition 1 is that the FCA , the Bank of England and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA have been notified— by the applicant for an administration order, that the application has been made, by the petitioner for a winding up order, that the petition has been presented, by the building society, that a resolution for voluntary winding up may be passed, or by the person proposing to appoint an administrator, of the proposed appointment. Condition 2 is that a copy of the notice complying with Condition 1 has been filed with the court (and made available for public inspection by the court). Condition 3 is that— the period of 7 days , beginning with the day on which the notice is received, has ended, or both— the Bank of England has informed the person who gave the notice that it does not intend to exercise a stabilisation power under Part 1 of the Banking Act 2009 in relation to the building society (and condition 5 has been met, if applicable), and each of the PRA and the Bank of England has informed the person who gave the notice that it does not intend to apply for a building society insolvency order (under section 95 of the Banking Act 2009 as applied by section 90C). Condition 4 is that no application for a building society insolvency order is pending. Condition 5— applies only if a resolution instrument has been made under section 12A of the Banking Act 2009 with respect to the building society in the three months ending with the date on which the Bank of England receives the notification under Condition 1, and is that the Bank of England has informed the person who gave the notice that it consents to the insolvency procedure to which the notice relates going ahead. Arranging for the giving of notice in order to satisfy Condition 1 can be a step with a view to minimising the potential loss to a building society’s creditors for the purpose of section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (wrongful trading) or Article 178 (wrongful trading) of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 as applied in relation to building societies by section 90 of, and Schedule 15 to, this Act. Where the society is a PRA-authorised person and notice has been given under Condition 1 — the PRA shall inform the person who gave the notice, within the period in Condition 3(a), whether it intends to apply for a building society insolvency order, ... if the Bank of England decides to apply for a building society insolvency order or to exercise a stabilisation power under Part 1 of the Banking Act 2009, the Bank shall inform the person who gave the notice, within the period in Condition 3(a); and if Condition 5 applies, the Bank of England must, within the period in Condition 3(a), inform the person who gave the notice whether or not it consents to the insolvency procedure to which the notice relates going ahead. Where the society is not a PRA-authorised person and notice has been received under Condition 1 References in this section to the insolvency procedure to which the notice relates are to the procedure for the determination, resolution or appointment in question (see subsections (1) to (4)). In this section “the Disqualification Act” means the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986. In the Disqualification Act— a reference to liquidation includes a reference to building society insolvency and a reference to building society special administration, a reference to winding up includes a reference to making or being subject to a building society insolvency order and a reference to making or being subject to a building society special administration order, a reference to becoming insolvent includes a reference to becoming subject to a building society insolvency order and a reference to becoming subject to a building society special administration order, and a reference to a liquidator includes a reference to a building society liquidator and a reference to a building society special administrator. For the purposes of the application of section 7A of the Disqualification Act (office-holder’s report on conduct of directors) to a building society which is subject to a building society insolvency order— the “office-holder” is the building society liquidator, the “insolvency date” means the date on which the building society insolvency order is made, and subsections (9) to (11) are omitted. For the purposes of the application of that section to a building society which is subject to a building society special administration order— the “office-holder” is the building society special administrator, the “insolvency date” means the date on which the building society special administration order is made, and In the application of this section to Northern Ireland, references to the Disqualification Act are to the Company Directors Disqualification (Northern Ireland) Order 2002 and in subsections (3) and (4)— the reference to section 7A of the Disqualification Act is a reference to Article 10A of that Order (office-holder’s report on conduct of directors), and the reference to subsections (9) to (11) of that section is a reference to paragraphs (9) to (11) of that Article. Where a building society has been dissolved under section 87 or following a winding up, building society insolvency or building society special administration, the High Court or, in relation to a society whose principal office was in Scotland, the Court of Session, may, at any time within 12 years after the date on which the society was dissolved, make an order under this section declaring the dissolution to have been void. An order under this section may be made, on such terms as the court thinks fit, on an application by the trustees under section 87 or the liquidator, building society liquidator or building society special administrator, as the case may be, or by any other person appearing to the Court to be interested. When an order under this section is made, such proceedings may be taken as might have been taken if the society has not been dissolved. The person on whose application the order is made shall, within seven days of its being so made, or such further time as the Court may allow, furnish the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA with a copy of the order; and the FCA must keep a copy in the public file of the society. If a person fails to comply with subsection (4) above, he shall be liable on summary conviction— to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale, and in the case of a continuing offence, to an additional fine not exceeding £40 for every day during which the offence continues. Where at any time a building society is being wound up or dissolved by consent, or is in building society insolvency or building society special administration, a borrowing member shall not be liable to pay any amount other than one which, at that time, is payable under the mortgage or other security by which his indebtedness to the society in respect of the loan is secured. in order to acquire, or allow a subsidiary undertaking to acquire, a business to which subsections (3) and (4) below apply; or in order to establish, or allow such an undertaking to establish, a business to which subsections (3) and (5) below apply, must resolve so to do by an ordinary resolution; but a failure to comply with this subsection shall not invalidate any transaction or other act. In order to be effective for the purposes of subsection (1) above, an ordinary resolution of a building society must be passed by a majority of the members of the society entitled to vote on such a resolution and voting either— in person or by proxy on a poll on the resolution at a meeting of the society; or in a postal or electronic ballot on the resolution; and in a case falling within paragraph (a) above, a form for the appointment of a proxy shall be sent to each person entitled to notice of the meeting. This subsection applies to a business which is proposed to be acquired or established if, in the opinion of the board of directors of the society— the greater part of the income of the business is or will be derived from activities having no connection with loans secured on residential property; the greater part of the resources of the business are or will be devoted to such activities; or the greater part of the business consists or will consist of such activities. This subsection applies to a business which is proposed to be acquired if X is not less than 15 per cent of Y where— X = the amount or value of the consideration to be given for the shares, voting rights or assets proposed to be acquired; Y = the amount of the society’s own funds as at the relevant date. This subsection applies to a business which is proposed to be established if X is not less than 15 per cent of Y where— X = the aggregate of the following as estimated by the society, namely— the cost of acquiring, developing, adapting or repairing any premises required for the purposes of the business; the initial cost of acquiring any plant or equipment, or any intellectual property, so required; the initial cost of employing or training staff so required; the cost of obtaining any professional advice required in connection with the establishment of the business; any other non-recurring items of expenditure to be incurred in that connection; and in the case of a business proposed to be established by a subsidiary undertaking, the amount of any capital to be provided by the society which will not be used for defraying items of expenditure falling within the foregoing paragraphs; Where a business is proposed to be acquired or established by a syndicate whose members include a building society or subsidiary undertaking— subsection (1) above shall have effect as if the business were proposed to be acquired or (as the case may be) established by the society; and whichever of subsections (4) and (5) above is applicable shall have effect as if X were only so much of X as is referable to participation in the syndicate by the society or undertaking. For the purposes of subsections (1)(a) and (4) above, two or more proposed acquisitions by a building society or subsidiary undertaking which will form part of a larger acquisition or series of acquisitions shall be treated as a single acquisition. Nothing in this section shall apply in relation to a building society in so far as it undertakes, in accordance with section 94 and Schedule 16 to this Act, to fulfil engagements transferred to it in accordance with that section and that Schedule. “initial”, in relation to any cost, means incurred, or likely in the directors’ opinion to be incurred, not later than 12 months after the establishment of the business; “intellectual property” includes— any patent, know-how, trade mark, service mark, registered design, copyright or design right; and any licence under or in respect of any such right; the date of the end of its last financial year or, failing that, the date of its establishment; or where it has been involved in a transfer of engagements, the date of that transfer, whichever is the later. The Treasury may by order substitute for the percentage specified in subsection (4) or (5) above such other percentage as appears to them to be appropriate; and an order under this subsection may make such supplementary, transitional and saving provision as appears to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient. The Treasury may by order vary subsections (5) and (9) above by adding to or deleting from them any provision or by varying any provision contained in them; and an order under this subsection may make— different provisions for different cases or purposes; and such supplementary, transitional and saving provision as appears to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient. The power to make an order under subsection (10) or (11) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. Any two or more buildings societies desiring to amalgamate may do so by establishing a building society as their successor in accordance with this section and Schedule 16 to this Act In order to establish a building society as their successor the societies desiring to amalgamate must— agree the purpose or principal purpose of their successor to be that of making loans which are secured on residential property and are funded substantially by its members, and agree upon the extent of its powers, in a memorandum which complies with the requirements of Schedule 2 to this Act; agree upon the rules for the regulation of their successor which comply with the requirements of that Schedule; each approve the terms of the amalgamation by two resolutions which also approve the memorandum and the rules of their successor and of which— one is passed as a shareholding members’ resolution, and the other is passed as a borrowing members’ resolution, in accordance with the applicable provisions of that Schedule; make a joint application to the appropriate authority for confirmation of the amalgamation and send to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA three copies of the rules and of the memorandum, each copy signed by the secretary of each of the societies. If the appropriate authority confirms the amalgamation under section 95, and the FCA is satisfied, as regards the proposed successor, of the matters relating to its rules, its purpose and powers and its name as to which it must, under paragraph 1 of Schedule 2 to this Act, be satisfied before it registers a society, the FCA must — register the successor society, issue to it a certificate of incorporation, specifying a date (“the specified date”) as from which the incorporation takes effect, retain and register one copy of the memorandum and of the rules, return another copy to the secretary of the successor, together with a certificate of registration, and keep another copy, together with a copy of the certificate of incorporation and of the certificate of registration of the memorandum and the rules, in the public file of the successor society. On the specified date all the property, rights and liabilities of each of the societies whose amalgamation was confirmed by the appropriate authority (whether or not capable of being transferred or assigned) shall by virtue of this subsection be transferred to and vested in the society so incorporated as their successor. On the specified date, each of the societies to which the successor succeeds shall be dissolved by virtue of this subsection; but the transfer effected by subsection (4) above shall be deemed to have been effected immediately before the dissolution. If, on the specified date, each of the societies whose amalgamation was confirmed by the appropriate authority has permission under Part 4A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 to accept deposits, the appropriate authority shall, with effect from that date, give their successor such permission under that Part as it considers appropriate, and shall notify the successor of the permission by giving the successor a decision notice. Part XXVI of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 applies to a decision notice given under this section as it applies to a decision notice given under subsection (5) of section 55V of that Act by virtue of paragraph (a) or (b) of that subsection , except that— section 390 (final notices) does not apply, and for the purposes of section 391 (publication) the decision notice is to be treated as if it were a final notice rather than a decision notice. The giving of permission pursuant to subsection (6) above is to be treated for the purposes of section 55Z3 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (right to refer matters to the Upper Tribunal) as if it were the determination of an application made by the successor under Part 4A of that Act, and Part IX of that Act (hearings and appeals) applies accordingly (but subject to subsection (6C) below). In the application of Part IX of that Act by virtue of subsection (6B) above, section 133A(4) (which prevents ... action specified in a decision notice from being taken until after any reference and appeal) is omitted. A building society may, in accordance with this section and Schedule 16 to this Act, transfer its engagements to any extent to another building society which, in accordance with this section and that Schedule, undertakes to fulfil the engagements. A building society, in order to transfer its engagements, must resolve to do so by two resolutions, of which one is passed as a shareholding members’ resolution and the other as a borrowing members’ resolution in accordance with the applicable provisions of Schedule 2. A building society, in order to transfer some but not all of its engagements to its members in respect of shares held by them (with or without other engagements) must, in addition to resolving to transfer the engagements by the two resolutions required by subsection (2) above, resolve to do so by an affected shareholders’ resolution. For the purposes of this section in its application to a transfer by a society of engagements in respect of some shares in the society, an “affected shareholders’ resolution” is a resolution passed by a majority of the holders of those shares who, under the rules of the society, would be entitled to vote on a shareholding members’ resolution, disregarding for this purpose any shares of theirs in respect of which the society’s engagements are not to be transferred. A building society, in order to undertake to fulfil the engagements of another society, must resolve to do so— by two resolutions, of which one is passed as a shareholding members’ resolution and the other as a borrowing members’ resolution in accordance with the applicable provisions of Schedule 2; or by a resolution of the board of directors, if the appropriate authority consents to that mode of proceeding. The extent of the transfer, as so resolved by the society making and the society taking the transfer, shall be recorded in an instrument of transfer of engagements. A transfer of engagements between building societies shall be of no effect unless— the transfer is confirmed by the appropriate authority under section 95; and a registration certificate is issued in respect of the transfer under subsection (8) below. Where the appropriate authority confirms a transfer of engagements between building societies, the FCA must — register a copy of the instrument of transfer of engagements; and issue a registration certificate to the building society taking the transfer; and, on such date as is specified in the certificate, the property, rights and liabilities of the society transferring its engagements (whether or not capable of being transferred or assigned) shall, by virtue of this subsection, be transferred to and vested in the society taking the transfer to the extent provided in the instrument of transfer of engagements. The FCA shall keep a copy of the instrument and of the registration certificate issued under subsection (8) above in the public file of the building society taking the transfer. Where all its engagements have been transferred, the society shall, by virtue of this subsection, be dissolved on the date specified in the registration certificate; but the transfer effected by subsection (8) above shall be deemed to have been effected immediately before the dissolution. Part I of Schedule 16 to this Act shall have effect for imposing on building societies proposing to amalgamate or to transfer or undertake engagements requirements to issue statements to their members relating to the proposed amalgamation or transfer. Part II of Schedule 16 to this Act shall have effect for imposing requirements for notification by a building society, to its members and to the appropriate authority of the receipt by the society of proposals for a transfer of engagements or an amalgamation. Where application is made to the appropriate authority for confirmation of an amalgamation or transfer of engagements it shall, except as provided in subsections (4) to (6) below, confirm the amalgamation or transfer; and Part III of Schedule 16 to this Act shall have effect with respect to the procedure on an application for such confirmation. Subject to subsection (5) below, the appropriate authority shall not confirm an amalgamation or transfer of engagements if it considers that— some information material to the members’ decision about the amalgamation or transfer was not made available to all the members eligible to vote; or the vote on any resolution approving the amalgamation or transfer does not represent the views of the members eligible to vote; or some relevant requirement of this Act or the rules of any of the societies participating in the amalgamation or transfer was not fulfilled or not fulfilled as regards that society. The appropriate authority shall not be precluded from confirming an amalgamation or transfer of engagements by virtue only of the non-fulfilment of some relevant requirement of this Act or the rules of a society if it appears to the appropriate authority that it could not have been material to the members’ decision about the amalgamation or transfer and the appropriate authority gives a direction that the failure is to be disregarded for the purposes of this section. Where the appropriate authority would be precluded from confirming an amalgamation or transfer of engagements by reason of any of the defects specified in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of subsection (4) above, it may direct any building society concerned— to take such steps to remedy the defect or defects, including the calling of a further meeting, as it specifies in the direction; and to furnish the appropriate authority with evidence satisfying it that it has done so; and, if the appropriate authority is satisfied that the steps have been taken and the defect or defects has or have been substantially remedied; the appropriate authority shall confirm the amalgamation or transfer; but, if it is not so satisfied, it shall refuse its confirmation. The PRA must consult the FCA before confirming an amalgamation or transfer, or giving a direction, under this section. The PRA must— notify the FCA it if confirms an amalgamation or transfer; and send the FCA a copy of any direction it gives. A failure to comply with a relevant requirement of this Act or any rules of a society shall not invalidate an amalgamation or transfer of engagements; but, if a society fails without reasonable excuse to comply with such a requirement the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. In this section “relevant requirement”, with reference to this Act or the rules of a society, means a requirement of section 93 or 94 or this section or of Schedule 16 to this Act or of any rules prescribing the procedure to be followed by the society in approving or effecting an amalgamation or transfer of engagements. The terms of an amalgamation of or transfer of engagements between building societies may include provision for compensation to be paid by a society to or in respect of any director or other officer of that or any other society for loss of office or diminution of emoluments attributable to the amalgamation or transfer, but the provision must be authorised as follows that is to say— except in so far as paragraph (b) below applies, the provision for such compensation to be paid by a society must be approved by the society by a resolution passed as a special resolution, not being one of the two resolutions required by section 93(2)(c) or 94(2) for the approval of the other terms of the amalgamation or transfer; if regulations are made under subsection (2) below authorising payments of such compensation within prescribed limits and the provision for such compensation includes only payments of amounts not exceeding the prescribed limits, the passing of the two resolutions approving the terms of the amalgamation or transfer is sufficient authority for their payment. The Treasury may by regulations authorise payments by building societies of compensation to directors or other officers for loss of office or diminution of emoluments attributable to amalgamations of, or transfers of engagements between, societies subject to limits specified in or determinable under the regulations and the regulations may make different provision for different classes of person. Nothing in subsection (1) or (2) above prevents a director or other officer from receiving payments from societies which, in the aggregate, exceed any limit applicable to him under subsection (2) above if the excess payment is included in provision approved as required by subsection (1)(a) above; but if any payment is received which has not been authorised under paragraph (a) or (b) of that subsection it shall be repaid. The terms of an amalgamation of, or transfer of engagements between, building societies may include provision for part of the funds of one or more of the participating societies to be distributed in consideration of the amalgamation or transfer among any of the members of the participating societies, but the provision must be authorised as follows, that is to say— subject to paragraph (b) below, the provision for such a distribution by a society shall not exceed the limits prescribed by regulations under subsection (5) below and the distribution must be approved by each of the two resolutions giving the approval of the society to the terms of the amalgamation or transfer; if the provision for such a distribution by a society exceeds the prescribed limits, it must be approved by each of the two resolutions of that society and each of the other societies particpating in the amalgamation or transfer by which each approved the terms of the amalgamation or transfer. The Treasury shall by regulations authorise distributions of funds to members by building societies particpating in amalgamations or transfers of engagements subject to limits specified in or determinable under the regulations and the regulations may make different provision for different circumstances. Where the terms of a transfer of engagements include provision for a distribution of the funds of the society transferring or the society undertaking the engagements and the society undertaking the engagements applies to the appropriate authority for its consent to the society’s approving the transfer by a resolution of the board of directors instead of the two resolutions required by section 94(5)(a), the appropriate authority shall not give its consent unless it is satisfied that the distribution proposed to be made by each society will not exceed the prescribed limits. The power to make regulations under subsection (2) or (5) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. “compensation” includes the provision of benefits in kind; “distribution of funds” with reference to bonuses paid to members, includes distribution by means of a special rate of interest available to members for a limited period; “loss of office” includes, in relation to a director or other officer of a building society holding office in any other body by virtue of his position in that society, the loss of that office; “prescribed” with reference to limits on compensation or on distributions of assets, means prescribed by regulations under subsection (2) or (5) above, as the case may be. A building society may, in accordance with this section and the other applicable provisions of this Act, transfer the whole of its business to a company (its “successor”). The applicable provisions of this Act other than this section are section 98, section 99, section 99A, section 100, section 101, section 102 sections 102B, 102C and 102D, paragraph 30 of Schedule 2 and Schedule 17. The successor may be a company formed by the society wholly or partly" for the purpose of assuming and conducting the society’s business in its place or an existing company which is to assume and conduct the society’s business in its place; and for the purposes of the transfer the society may, notwithstanding anything in section 18, form, or acquire and hold shares in, a company whose objects extend to the carrying on of activities which the building society has no power to carry on. In order to transfer its business to its successor a building society must— in the case of a specially formed company, secure that it is formed having articles of association with the requisite protective provisions; agree conditionally with its successor in a transfer agreement on the terms of the transfer which, in so far as they are regulated terms, comply with section 99, section 100 and transfer regulations; approve the transfer and the terms of the transfer by the requisite transfer resolutions, that is to say, resolutions passed by the members of the society in accordance with paragraph 30 of Schedule 2 to this Act; and obtain the confirmation of the appropriate authority of the transfer and its terms. In so far as the transfer agreement made between the society and its successor provides for rights to be conferred on members or officers of the society, whether or not in pursuance of regulated terms, the members or officers shall, in relation to those provisions, be treated as if they had been parties to the agreement and the rights shall be enforceable accordingly. If the appropriate authority confirms the transfer under section 98 then, on the vesting date, all the property, rights and liabilities of the society making the transfer (whether or not capable of being transferred or assigned), except any shares in its successor, shall by virtue of this subsection and in accordance with transfer regulations be transferred to and vested in the successor. Where a building society continues to hold shares in its successor after the vesting date, the consideration (if any) for the disposal of the shares together with any other property, rights or liabilities of the society acquired or incurred after that date shall, by virtue of this subsection, be transferred to and vested in its successor on the date specified for its dissolution under subsection (10) below. A building society which has obtained confirmation of the transfer of its business shall send to each of the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA notice of the date which is to be the vesting date and shall do so not later than seven days before that date; and the FCA must record the date and, if a later date is notified under subsection (10) below, that date, in the public file of the society. Except where notice is given under subsection (10) below, a building society which, under this section, transfers its business to its successor shall, by virtue of this subsection, be dissolved on the vesting date; but the transfer effected by subsection (6) above shall be deemed to have been effected immediately before the dissolution. A building society may, for the purpose of facilitating the disposal of shares in its successor, include in the notice of the vesting date under subsection (8) above notice of a later date for the dissolution of the society; and if it does so, the society shall by virtue of this subsection be dissolved on that date instead of the vesting date, but the transfer effected by subsection (7) above shall be deemed to have been effected immediately before the dissolution. As from the vesting date, a society which has given notice under subsection (10) above shall cease to transact any business except such as is necessary for the purpose of securing the disposal of the society’s holding of shares in its successor. In this section, and the other applicable provisions of this Act— “company” means a company as defined in section 1(1) of the Companies Act 2006 which is a public company limited by shares; and a company is a “specially formed” company if it is formed by a building society (and by no others than its nominees) for the purpose of assuming and conducting its business in its place and is an “existing” company if it is a company carrying on business as a going concern on the date of the transfer agreement; “confirmation”, in relation to a transfer, means the confirmation of the appropriate authority required by subsection (4)(d) above; “regulated terms” means any terms of a transfer agreement which are regulated terms under section 99, section 100 or section 102; “the requisite protective provisions” means the provisions required to be made by section 101(2); “the requisite shareholders” resolution’ has the meaning given by paragraph 30(1) of Schedule 2; “the requisite transfer resolutions” has the meaning given by subsection (4)(c) above; “successor”, in relation to a building society, has the meaning given by subsection (1) above; “transfer agreement” means the agreement required by subsection (4)(b) above and, in relation to it, “conditionally” means conditional on the approval of the transfer by the requisite transfer resolutions and on confirmation of the transfer; “transfer of business” means the transfer of the business of a building society to its successor under this section and “transfer” has a corresponding meaning; “transfer regulations” means regulations under section 102; and “the vesting date” means the date specified in or determined under the transfer agreement as the vesting date for the purposes of subsection (6) above. Part I of Schedule 17 to this Act shall have effect for imposing on a building society proposing to transfer its business to a company an obligation to issue statements or summaries to its members relating to the proposed transfer. Part IA of that Schedule shall have effect for imposing requirements for notification by a building society, to its members and to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA , of the receipt by the society of a proposal for the transfer of the whole of its business to a company. Where application is made to the appropriate authority for confirmation of a transfer of business to a company it shall, except as provided in subsections (3) to (5) below, confirm the transfer; and Part II of that Schedule shall have effect with respect to the procedure on an application for such confirmation. Subject to subsection (4) below, the appropriate authority shall not confirm a transfer of business if it considers that— some information material to the members’ decision about the transfer was not made available to all the members eligible to vote; or the vote on any resolution approving the transfer does not represent the views of the members eligible to vote; or there is a substantial risk that the successor will not have— such permission under Part 4A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, ... as will enable it to carry on the business which it will have as a result of the transfer without being taken (by virtue of section 20 of that Act) to have contravened a requirement imposed on it by the appropriate authority under that Act; or some relevant requirement of this Act or the rules of the society was not fulfilled. The appropriate authority shall not be precluded from confirming a transfer of business by virtue only of the non-fulfilment of some relevant requirement of this Act or the rules of the society if it appears to the appropriate authority that it could not have been material to the members’ decision about the transfer and the appropriate authority gives a direction that the failure is to be disregarded for the purposes of this section. Where the appropriate authority would be precluded from confirming a transfer of business by reason of any of the defects specified in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of subsection (3) above, it may direct the society making the transfer— to take such steps to remedy the defect or defects as it specifies in the direction; and to furnish the appropriate authority with evidence satisfying it that it has been done so; and, if the appropriate authority is satisfied that the steps have been taken and the defect or defects has or have been substantially remedied, the appropriate authority shall confirm the transfer; but, if it is not so satisfied, it shall refuse its confirmation. The steps that a society may be required under subsection (5)(a) above to include the calling of a further meeting, securing the variation of the transfer agreement or securing the alteration of the approved protective provisions of the articles of association of its successor. A failure to comply with a relevant requirement of this Act or the rules of a building society shall not invalidate a transfer of the business of the society; but, if a society fails without reasonable excuse to comply with such a requirement, the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. In this section “relevant requirement", with reference to this Act or the rules of a society, means a requirement of the applicable provisions of this Act or of any rules prescribing the procedure to be followed by the society in approving the transfer and its terms. The PRA must consult the FCA before confirming a transfer or giving a direction under this section. notify the FCA it if confirms a transfer;

and Subject to subsections (2) and (3) below, the terms of a transfer of business by a building society to the company which is to be its successor may include provision for compensation to be paid by the society or the company to or in respect of any director or other officer of the society for loss of office or diminution of emoluments attributable to the transfer. Any such provision must be authorised so far as the society is concerned as follows, that is to say— except in so far as paragraph (b) below applies, the provision must be approved by a resolution passed as a special resolution, not being one of the requisite transfer resolutions; if regulations are made under subsection (3) below authorising payments of such compensation within prescribed limits and the provision for such compensation includes only payments of amounts not exceeding the prescribed limits, the passing of the requisite transfer resolutions is sufficient authority for their payment. The Treasury may by regulations authorise payments of compensation to directors or other officers attributable to transfers of business under section 97 subject to limits specified in or determinable under the regulations and the regulations may make different provision for different classes of person. Nothing in subsection (2) or (3) above prevents a director or other officer from receiving payments which, in the aggregate, exceed any limit applicable to him under either of those subsections if the excess payment is included in provision approved as required by subsection (2)(a) above; but if any payment is received which has not been authorised under paragraph (a) or (b) of that subsection it shall be repaid. “loss of office” includes, in relation to a director or other officer of a building society holding office in any other body by virtue of his position in that society, the loss of that office; and “prescribed”, with reference to limits on compensation, means prescribed by regulations under subsection (3) above; and any terms of a transfer of business to which subsection (2) or regulations under subsection (3) above apply are regulated terms for the purposes of section 97. Subject to subsection (2) below, the terms of a transfer of business by a building society to the company which is to be its successor may include provision for any director or other officer of the society to receive increased emoluments in consequence of the transfer, whether by way of increased remuneration or the grant of share options or otherwise. An ordinary resolution approving any such provision must be put before a meeting of the society. Subject to subsections (2) to (10) below, the terms of a transfer of business by a building society to the company which is to be its successor may include provision for part of the funds of the society or its successor to be distributed among, or other rights in relation to shares in the successor conferred on, members of the society in consideration of the transfer. The terms of a transfer of a society’s business must— require its successor to assume as from the vesting date a liability to every qualifying member of the society as in respect of a deposit made with the successor corresponding in amount to the value of the qualifying shares held by him in the society; and confer a right, subject to subsection (7) below, to a distribution of funds, whether of the society or its successor, by way of bonus on every qualifying member of the society equal to the relevant proportion of the value of the qualifying shares held by him in the society; . . . For the purposes of the liabilities assumed under subsection (2)(a) above by the society’s successor, a member is a qualifying member if he held shares in the society on the day immediately preceding the vesting date and his qualifying shares are those held by him on that day. For the purposes of the rights conferred under subsection (2)(b) above on members of the society, a member is a qualifying member is he held shares in the society on the qualifying day and was not eligible to vote on the requisite shareholders’ resolution, his qualifying shares are those held by him on that day and the relevant proportion is the portion which (as shown in the latest balance sheet of the society) the society’s reserves bear to its total liability to its members in respect of shares. The appropriate authority may, where it confirms a transfer of a society’s business to an existing company, as it thinks fit having regard to what is equitable between the members of the society, direct that no bonus distribution of funds in pursuance of subsection (2)(b) above shall be made or that the amount distributed shall be such lesser amount as it provides for in the direction; and where the appropriate authority gives a direction under this subsection no liability to make such a distribution shall arise or, as the case may be, that liability shall be discharged by payment of the lesser amount. The terms of a transfer of a society's business may confer a right to acquire shares in the successor on a member of the society only if the member— held shares in the society throughout the period of two years ending with the qualifying day, or on that day, holds deferred shares in the society that are of a class described in the transfer agreement; and it is unlawful for any right in relation to shares to be conferred in contravention of this subsection. Where the successor is an existing company, any distribution of funds to members of the society, except for the distribution required by subsection (2)(b) above, shall only be made to those members who held shares in the society throughout the period of two years which expired with the qualifying day; and it is unlawful for any distribution to be made in contravention of the provisions of this subsection. The following restrictions apply to any distribution of funds, or any conferring of rights in relation to shares, in connection with the transfer of its business from the society to its successor where the successor is a company specially formed by the society, that is to say— no distribution shall be made except that required by subsection (2)(b) above; and where negotiable instruments acknowledging rights to shares are issued by the successor within the period of two years beginning with the vesting date, no such instruments shall be issued to former members of the society unless they are also issued, and on the same terms, to all other members of the company; and it is unlawful for any distribution of funds to be made in contravention of the provisions of this subsection. Where the successor is a specially formed company, the terms of the transfer must include provision to secure that the society ceases to hold any shares in the successor by the date on which the society is to dissolve. Any terms of a transfer of business to which subsection (2), (8), (9), (10) or (11) above apply are regulated terms for the purposes of section 97. In subsections (4), (5), (8) and (9) above, “qualifying day” means the day specified in the transfer agreement as the qualifying day for the purposes of this subsection. No company specially formed by a building society to be its successor shall, at any time during the protective period— offer for sale or invite subscription for any shares in the company or allot or agree to allot any such shares with a view to their being offered for sale, or allot or agree to allot any share in the company, or register a transfer of shares in the company, if the effect of the offer, the invitation, the allotment or the registration of the transfer would be that more shares than the permitted proportion would be held by any one person (other than the society), or by any two or more persons who are parties to a concert party agreement which relates to shares in the company. The articles of association of the company shall include provision such as will secure that the company does not offer, invite subscription for, allot or register transfers of, shares in contravention of subsection (1) above and no alteration in those provisions may be made by the company during the protective period. Any provision (including any altered provision) of the company’s articles of association which is to any extent inconsistent with subsection (1) above shall, to that extent, be void; and any allotment or registration of a transfer of shares in contravention of that subsection shall be void. This section shall cease to apply to a company if— a person who is an authorised person within the meaning of section 31 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 becomes a subsidiary undertaking of the company, or the company or such an undertaking acquires the whole, or substantially the whole, of the business of such a person; a special resolution to that effect is passed by the requisite majority of the members of the company; or the appropriate authority by notice to the company gives a direction to that effect; and the appropriate authority shall not give such a direction unless it considers it desirable to do so in the interests of the depositors and potential depositors of the company. If this section ceases to apply to a company, any provision included by virtue of subsection (2) above in its articles of association shall cease to have effect. “concert party agreement” means an agreement to which section 824 of the Companies Act 2006 applies; “EEA country or territory” has the same meaning as in sections 6A and 6B; “the permitted proportion”, in relation to shares in the company, is 15 per cent. of the company’s issued share capital; “the protective period” is the period beginning with the date of the company’s incorporation and ending five years after the vesting date or, if this section ceases to apply to the company, ending on the date on which it so ceases; “the requisite majority” means a majority of the members having the right to attend and vote at a general meeting of the company, being a majority together holding not less than 75 per cent in nominal value of the shares giving that right; “transfer”, in relation to shares, does not include a transfer to a person to whom the right to any shares has been transmitted by operation of law; and any expression used in this section and in the Companies Acts (as defined in section 2 of the Companies Act 2006) has the same meaning in this section as in those Acts. For the purposes of this section— shares held by a person in a fiduciary capacity shall be treated as not held by him; shares held by a person as nominee for another shall be treated as held by the other; and shares shall be regarded as held as nominee for another if any voting rights attaching to them are exercisable only on his instructions or with his consent or concurrence. Any reference in this section to shares includes a reference— to any warrant or other instrument entitling the holder to subscribe for shares; and to any certificate or other instrument issued by or on behalf of the company and conferring a right to acquire shares otherwise than by subscription; and for the purposes of subsection (1) above any shares to which any such instrument relates shall be deemed to be held by the holder of the instrument. The Treasury may, by transfer regulations under this section, make provision regulating transfers of business under section 97. Transfer regulations may, in particular— make provision for and in connection with the transition from regulation by and under this Act to regulation by and under the Companies Acts . . . make provision for the treatment, in the hands of companies taking such transfers, of the property, rights and liabilities transferred and for the modification of any enactment in its application to property, rights and liabilities so transferred; make provision for the purposes of and incidental to section 100 and sections 101, 102B, 102C and 102D. The power to make transfer regulations is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. Any terms of a transfer of business to which transfer regulations apply are regulated terms for the purposes of section 97. This section applies where the terms of a transfer of business by a building society to the company which is to be its successor include such provision as is mentioned in section 100(1). If— a person (“A”) held shares in the society throughout the requisite period; any shares in the society held by A were jointly held for any period (“the joint ownership period”) constituting the whole or part of the requisite period; A was the second-named holder of the jointly held shares for the whole or part of the joint ownership period; and no person who has priority over A for the purposes of this section held shares in the society throughout the requisite period, the jointly held shares shall be treated for the purposes of subsections (8) and (9) of section 100 as having been held by A alone. The following persons shall have priority over A for the purposes of this section, namely— where A was not the first-named holder of the jointly held shares for any part of the joint ownership period— any person who was the first-named holder of those shares for the whole or part of that period; and where A was the second-named holder of those shares for part only of that period, any person who was the second-named holder of those shares for a later part of that period; and where A was the first-named holder of the jointly held shares for part of the joint ownership period, any person who was the first-named holder of those shares for a later part of that period. If a person dies during the requisite period at a time when he is named in the records of the society as a joint holder of any shares jointly held, this section shall have effect in relation to any later time as if he had never been so named. “the first-named holder”, in relation to any shares jointly held, means that one of the joint holders who is named first in the records of the society, that is to say, the person by whom alone, apart from this section, those shares would, by virtue of paragraph 7(5) of Schedule 2, be treated as held for the purposes of section 100; “qualifying day” has the same meaning as in subsections (8) and (9) of section 100; “the requisite period” means the period beginning two years before the end of the qualifying day and ending immediately before the vesting date; “the second-named holder”, in relation to any shares jointly held, means that one of the joint holders who is named second in the records of the society; “the vesting date” has the same meaning as in section 100. This section shall have effect (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the rules of the society) where the terms of the transfer of the business of a building society to its successor include provision for a distribution to be made to its members, and where more than one distribution is provided for, shall have effect in relation to each of them. In this section “distribution” in relation to a society means— a distribution among members of the society of part of the funds of the society or its successor, other than a distribution within section 100(2)(b), or the conferring of rights in relation to shares in the successor on members of the society, in consideration of the transfer. Subject to the following provisions of this section and section 102C, a trustee account holder shall be treated by the society and its successor as not being disentitled from sharing in the distribution— as such trustee account holder, and also in relation to another account which he may hold as a trustee account holder or in relation to another account which he may hold otherwise than as a trustee account holder, by reason only of his holding more than one account; and the terms of the transfer of business in question shall comply with this subsection. A trustee account holder shall not be entitled to share in a distribution as such trustee account holder by virtue of any provision of this section if— the society has notified that account holder that he must make, in relation to any account as respects which he is a trustee account holder, a statutory declaration under the Statutory Declarations Act 1835 complying with subsection (5); but the trustee account holder does not give the society that declaration before such date as may be specified in the society’s notice to him. A statutory declaration complies with this subsection if the person making it declares in it— that he is a trustee account holder in respect of an account identified in the declaration, the name and address of each beneficiary for whom he holds the account, the reason why it is not reasonably practicable for any beneficiary to act in relation to that account himself, and in a case where section 102D(8) applies, the names and addresses of all the trustee account holders of the account during the period referred to in that subsection. In any case, where in response to a notice under subsection (4) (and within the time specified in that notice), a person gives a society a statutory declaration complying or purporting to comply with subsection (5) that he is a trustee account holder as respects any account he holds with that society then, subject to section 102C, the society and its successor— shall treat him as such an account holder in respect of that account, and shall not be liable to any other person in respect of any distribution to him (whether or not the society makes any enquiry into his eligibility before making the distribution). Where it is shown, in relation to a person who has made a statutory declaration to a society purporting to comply with section 102B(5), that, at the time the declaration is made, he is not a trustee account holder in relation to the account in question, then— a distribution shall not be made to him in pursuance of section 102B if it is so shown before the distribution is made; if a distribution is made to him, he shall be liable— to repay to the society’s successor any funds, and to surrender to it any shares or rights to any shares, which he may have received as the holder of that account, if any shares or rights to any shares are not surrendered, to pay the successor an amount equal to the relevant value of those shares or rights. Where subsection (1)(b) applies in relation to a person, he shall also be liable to pay to the successor interest (at the rate applicable to judgment debts or, as respects Scotland, to decrees of the Court of Session)— on any funds which he is liable to repay to the successor under sub-paragraph (i) of subsection (1)(b), on the relevant value of any shares or rights which are surrendered under that sub-paragraph, and on any amount payable under subsection (1)(b)(ii), as from the day on which he received the funds, shares or rights until subsection (1)(b) is complied with in relation thereto. In subsections (1) and (2) “relevant value”, in relation to any shares or rights to any shares, means the market value of those shares on the first day on which they are quoted on the Stock Exchange Daily Official List, and section 272 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 shall apply for the purposes of this subsection. Where the successor receives any payment in circumstances where subsection (1)(b) applies, the amount of the payment shall be treated as settlement of a debt due to the successor and accordingly not as an amount due to members of the society. This section has effect for the purposes of sections 102B and 102C. “Trustee account holder”, in relation to any society, is a person who is the holder of an account as respects which all the conditions in subsection (4) are satisfied and which he holds in trust for another person, but subject to subsection (5). Any reference in this section or in sections 102B and 102C to the holder of an account (however expressed) includes a reference to a person to whom the society has advanced a loan secured on land. The conditions referred to in subsection (2) are— that he is a member of the society by virtue of holding that account; that the account holder— is the sole account holder or the representative joint holder (within the meaning of paragraph 7 of Schedule 2 to this Act), or in the case of a borrowing member, is not a joint borrower or is the representative joint borrower (within the meaning of paragraph 8 of that Schedule); that it is not reasonably practicable for any one or more of the persons for whom he holds the account, by reason of ill-health or old age or any physical or mental incapacity or disability, to act in relation to the account himself. Where a person holds more than one account in trust for any other person or persons and the beneficiary or any of the beneficiaries in respect of two or more of those accounts (“the duplicate accounts”) are the same, then— the account holder shall not be a trustee account holder in respect of any of those duplicate accounts except the one which was first opened, and accordingly, section 102B(3) and (4) shall apply only in relation to that first opened duplicate account. “Beneficiary”, in relation to any account or any trustee account holder, is the person or any of the persons for whose benefit the account is held or for whose benefit the trustee account holder holds the account (as the case may be). Any beneficiary of any account who is a child shall be disregarded for the purposes of subsection (4) above unless he suffers ill-health or any physical or mental incapacity or disability which if suffered by an adult would prevent it being reasonably practicable for such an adult to act in relation to the account himself. In any case where— the identity of the trustee account holder changes during any period which is relevant to the distribution in question, and the account is not closed but continues to be held for the benefit of the same beneficiaries (disregarding any who have died), the trustee account holders during that period shall be treated for the purpose of section 102B and the distribution as one person. Any reference to a person holding an account in trust for any other person includes a reference— to any person holding an account for another person in pursuance of any order, direction or authority made or given under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 or under Part VIII of the Mental Health (Northern Ireland) Order 1986; to an attorney holding an account for another person under— an enduring power of attorney or lasting power of attorney registered under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, or an enduring power registered under the Enduring Powers of Attorney (Northern Ireland) Order 1987; in relation to Scotland— to a curator bonis and a judicial factor holding an account for another person; and to a person holding an account for another person under a factory and commission or power of attorney which continues to have effect by virtue of section 71 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1990; and references to a beneficiary shall be construed accordingly. Where rights to acquire shares are to be conferred on one or more members of the society by reference to more than one account, in accordance with the provisions of section 102B, those rights shall not, without more, be taken, for the purposes of section 100(8), to confer rights to acquire the shares in priority to other subscribers. The Treasury may make regulations prescribing— the time within which the notice required by section 102B(4)(a) must be given, and the minimum time which may be specified in the notice for the purposes of section 102B(4)(b), but, if such regulations are not made, any such notice must be given in such time, and must specify such time, as will give the trustee account holder a reasonable opportunity to make the declaration and give it to the society in compliance with the notice. Regulations under subsection (11) shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. Where , having consulted the PRA, the FCA is satisfied, with respect to a building society— that the society has been dissolved by virtue of section 93(5), 94(10), 97(9) or 97(10), or that the society has been wound up under the applicable winding up legislation and dissolved, or that the society has been dissolved following building society insolvency or building society special administration. the FCA shall cancel the registration of the society. that a certificate of incorporation has been obtained for the society by fraud or mistake and that the society does not have permission under Part 4A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 to accept deposits, or that the society has ceased to exist, the FCA may cancel the registration of the society. Without prejudice to subsection (2) above, the FCA may, if it thinks fit after consulting the PRA, cancel the registration of a building society at the request of the society, evidenced in such manner as the FCA may direct. Before cancelling the registration of a building society under subsection (2) above, the FCA shall give to the society not less than two months’ previous notice, specifying briefly the grounds of the proposed cancellation. Where the registration of a building society is cancelled under subsection (2) above, the society may appeal to— the High Court, where the principal office of the society is situated in England and Wales or in Northern Ireland, or the Court of Session, where that office is situated in Scotland. and on any such appeal the High Court or the Court of Session, as the case may be, if it thinks it just to do so, may set aside the cancellation. Where the registration of a building society is cancelled under subsection (2) or (3) above, then, subject to the right of appeal conferred by subsection (5) above, the society, so far as it continues to exist, shall cease to be a society incorporated under this Act (and accordingly shall cease to be a building society within the meaning of this Act). Subsection (6) above shall have effect in relation to a building society without prejudice to any liability actually incurred by the society; and any such liability may be enforced against the society as if the cancellation had not taken place. Any cancellation of the registration of a building society under this section shall be effected in writing signed by the FCA . As soon as practicable after the cancellation of the registration of a society under this section the FCA shall cause notice thereof to be published in the London Gazette, the Edinburgh Gazette or the Belfast Gazette according to the situation of the society’s principal office, and if it thinks fit, in one or more newspapers. If, on any modification of the statutory provisions in force in Great Britain or Northern Ireland relating to companies, it appears to the Treasury to be expedient to modify the relevant provisions of this Act for the purpose of assimilating the law relating to companies and the law relating to building societies, the Treasury may, by order, make such modifications of the relevant provisions of this Act as they think appropriate for that purpose. The “relevant provisions of this Act” are the following provisions as for the time being in force, that is to say— the provisions of Part 2 (but see subsection (3A)); so much of Part VI as relates to investigations or inspections; the provisions of Part VII (management); the provisions of Part VIII (accounts and audit); . . . so much of Part X as relates to winding up or insolvency ; and section 110 (provisions exempting officers and auditors from liability).. The power conferred by subsection (1) above includes power to modify the relevant provisions of this Act so as to— confer power to make orders, regulations, rules or other subordinate legislation; create criminal offences; or provide for the charging of fees but not any charge in the nature of taxation. The power conferred by subsection (1) by virtue of subsection (2)(za) is exercisable only for the purpose of making provision in relation to common seals and the execution of documents. make consequential amendments of or appeals in other provisions of this Act; or make such transitional or saving provisions as appear to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient. “modification” includes any additions and, as regards modifications of the statutory provisions relating to companies, any modification whether effected by any future Act or by an instrument made after the passing of this Act under an Act whenever passed; and “statutory provisions” includes the provisions of any instrument made under this Act. For the purpose of securing the registration of charges created by building societies, the Secretary of State may, by order made with the concurrence of the Treasury ... , provide that such of the provisions of Part 25 of the Companies Act 2006 (company charges) as may be specified in the order shall apply in relation to building societies, and charges created by building societies, with such modifications as may be so specified. An order under this section may make different provision for different cases or different areas and may contain such incidental, supplemental and transitional provisions as may appear to the Secretary of State to be necessary or expedient. The power to make an order under this section is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. This section has effect as regards any power conferred under any provision of this Act on building societies or building societies of any description by— an instrument a draft of which has to be approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament before it can be made, or an instrument which is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament and which defers its operation until a future date; and in this section “the anticipation date” is, in the case of an instrument falling within paragraph (a), the date on which either House approves the draft and, in the case of an instrument falling within paragraph (b), the date on which it was laid before Parliament. Every building society or, as the case may be, every building society of the description to which the instrument applies, has, as from the anticipation date, power, for the purposes of the power conferred by the instrument, to do such things, subject to subsection (3) below, as are reasonably necessary to enable it— to decide whether or not, and to what extent, to exercise (and in the case of an adoptable power to adopt) the power, and if it decides to exericse the power, to exercise it as from the date when it becomes exercisable by the society. Subsection (2)(b) above does not authorise a society— to make contracts, other than conditional contracts, for the acquisition of land, the acquisition of a business or the acquisition of shares in any company if that company offers the public any service or facility within the power, to issue invitations to members of the society or the public to apply for any power to be exercised for their benefit, or to retain shares in a company which offers the public any service or facility within the power; and, in this subsection, “conditional”, in relation to contracts with respect to the exercise of a power, means conditional on the power’s becoming exercisable by the society. The power conferred by this paragraph, and activities carried on under it, for the purposes of an adoptable power are not to be treated as included in, or in activities comprised in, that adoptable power for the purposes of paragraph 16 of Schedule 2 to this Act. The FCA shall prepare and maintain a file relating to each building society (to be known as the public file) and the file shall— contain the documents or, as the case may be, the copies of the documents and the records of the matters directed by or under any provision of this Act to be kept in the public file of the society; and be available for inspection on reasonable notice by members of the public subject to subsection (3) below. Any member of the public shall be entitled, subject to subsection (3) below, to be furnished with a copy of all or any of the documents or records kept in the public file of a building society. The FCA may charge a reasonable fee for making the public file available to any person for inspection under subsection (1)(b) above, or for furnishing any person with a copy of any documents or records under subsection (2) above. Subject to subsections (2) to (9) below, no person carrying on in the United Kingdom a business of any description shall, unless that person is a building society, use any name or in any other way so describe himself or hold himself out so as to indicate, or reasonably be understood to indicate— that he is a building society, that he, or his business, is connected with one or more building societies, or that he, or his business, is connected with building societies generally. Subsection (1) does not prohibit the use by an institution carrying on the business of taking deposits and making loans secured on land which has its principal place of business in a country or territory outside the United Kingdom, of the name under which the institution carries on business in that country or territory if— the name is used in immediate conjunction with a description distinguishing the institution from a building society, being a description which has been approved for the purposes of this subsection by the FCA and the approval has not been revoked under subsection (7) below, and where the name appears in writing, that description is sufficiently prominent to secure that a person who reads the name will also read the description. For a description to distinguish an institution from a building society for the purposes of subsection (2) above it must distinguish it by reference to all or any of the following matters,— the situation of its principal place of business, its legal status or constitution, and the law (if any) which authorises it to take deposits in the United Kingdom, as the FCA determines in its case, but need not indicate any other distinction. Subsection (1) above does not prohibit a person from carrying on a business under a name which indicates a connection between— that person, or his business, and one or more building societies, or that person, or his business, and building societies generally, if the name has been approved for the purposes of this subsection by the FCA and the approval has not been revoked under subsection (7) below. No name shall be approved for the purposes of subsection (4) above unless the FCA , having regard to— the true connection (if any) in fact existing between the person using, or proposing to use, the name and the particular society or societies in question or with building societies generally, as the case may be, and in the cases referred to in subsection (4)(a) above, the respective natures of the business of that person and the society or societies in question, is satisfied that the connection indicated by the name is not misleading; and, in so far as the name indicates investment or other financial support on the part of a building society the FCA shall not approve the use of the name unless it is satisfied that the name indicates no more investment or support than is the case and than is, in the opinion of the FCA , within the financial capacity of the building society to provide. An application for approval under subsection (2) or (4) above shall be made to the FCA in such form as it directs and accompanied by such information or evidence as it requires generally or in the particular case. The FCA may revoke any approval under subsection (2) or (4) above of a distinguishing description or a name, as the case may be, if it is of the opinion— in the case of a distinguishing description, that, by reason of any change in the matters by reference to which the distinction is made, the description does not or does not any longer distinguish the institution as required by subsection (2) above, or in the case of a name. that the name has proved to be misleading to the public, that the approval has been obtained by fraud or mistake, or that there has been a change in the facts to which the FCA had regard in giving its approval, but it shall not do so without first giving the person to whom the approval was given an opportunity of making representations with respect to the proposed revocation of that approval. Subsection (1) above does not prohibit a person from using a description (other than his name) which, or from holding himself out in a way that, indicates a connection between himself or his business and one or more building societies if and to the extent he has been authorised to do so in writing by the society or societies in question. Subsection (1) above does not prohibit a person from using a description (other than his name) which, or from holding himself out in a way that, indicates a connection between himself or his business and building societies generally where the connection indicated is not misleading. Where on an application for— the first registration of a company, or the registration of a company by a new name, by the registrar of companies under the Companies Act 2006, or approval by the Secretary of State of words or expressions for inclusion in a business name under section 1194 of the Companies Act 2006, it appears to the registrar, or the Secretary of State, as the case may be, that the use of the name or the words or expressions by the person seeking to register with it would contravene subsection (1) above, the registration shall not be made or the approval given. A person who contravenes subsection (1) above shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale; and where the contravention involves a public display or exhibition of the offending name, description or other matter, there shall be a fresh contravention of the subsection on each day during which that person causes or permits the display or exhibition to continue for which that person shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £200. “deposit” must be read with— “institution” means— a body corporate wherever incorporated; a partnership formed under the law of any part of the United Kingdom; The following instruments shall be exempted from all such stamp duties (if any) as apart from this section would be chargeable on them, that is to say— any copy of the rules of a building society; any transfer of a share in a building society; any bond or other security to be given to, or on account of, a building society or by an officer of a building society; any instrument appointing an agent of a building society or revoking such an appointment; and any other instrument whatsoever which is required or authorised to be given, issued, signed, made or produced in pursuance of this Act or of the rules of a building society. No transfer effected by subsection (6) or (7) of section 97 shall give rise to any liability to stamp duty A land transaction effected by or in consequence of— an amalgamation of two or more building societies under section 93; or a transfer of engagements between building societies under section 94, is exempt from charge for the purposes of stamp duty land tax. Relief under this section must be claimed in a land transaction return or an amendment of such a return. “land transaction” has the meaning given by section 43(1) of the Finance Act 2003; “land transaction return” has the meaning given by section 76(1) of that Act. Subject to subsection (3) below, any provision to which this section applies, whether contained in the rules of a building society or in any contract with a building society or otherwise, shall be void. This section applies to any provision for— exempting any director, other officer or person employed as auditor of a building society from any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to him in respect of the negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which he may be guilty in relation to the society, or indemnifying any such person against any such liability. Subsection (1) above shall not prevent a building society from purchasing and maintaining for a person insurance against any such liability, or indemnifying a person against any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings (whether civil or criminal) in which judgment is given in his favour or he is acquitted. Section 1157 of the Companies Act 2006 (power of court to grant relief in certain cases of negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust) shall apply in relation to officers and auditors of a building society as it applies in relation to officers and auditors a company. Notwithstanding any limitation on the time for the taking of proceedings contained in any Act, summary proceedings for any offence under this Act , other than an offence in relation to which provision is made in subsection (1A), may, subject to subsection (2) below, be commenced by the FCA at any time within the period of one year beginning with the date of which evidence sufficient in its opinion to justify a prosecution for the offence, comes to its knowledge. Notwithstanding any limitation on the time for taking proceedings contained in any Act, summary proceedings for the offences under the provisions listed in subsection (1B), in the circumstances specified in that subsection in relation to those provisions, may be commenced by the PRA, after notifying the FCA, or by the FCA, after notifying the PRA, at any time within the period mentioned in subsection (1C). The provisions and the circumstances are— section 52 (powers to obtain information and documents etc.), if— the failure referred to in subsection (10) of that section is a failure to furnish any information or accountant’s report, to produce any documents or material, or to provide any explanation or make any statement to the PRA, or the information, explanation or statement referred to in subsection (11) or (12) of that section is furnished, provided or made to the PRA; section 55 (investigations), if the person appointed under subsection (1) of that section was appointed by the PRA; section 81 (laying and furnishing accounts), if the default referred to in subsection (4) of that section relates to a failure to send a copy of the accounts to the PRA in accordance with subsection (2) of that section; section 87 (dissolution by consent), if the failure referred to in subsection (5) or (7) of that section relates to a failure to give notice to the PRA; section 88 (voluntary winding up), if the failure referred to in subsection (4) of that section relates to a failure to send a copy of the resolution to the PRA in accordance with subsection (2) of that section; section 91 (power of court to declare dissolution of building society void), if the failure referred to in subsection (5) of that section relates to a failure to send a copy of an order to the PRA in accordance with subsection (4) of that section; section 95 (mergers: provisions supplementing sections 93 and 94), if the application referred to subsection (3) of that section was made, or should have been made, to the PRA; section 98 (transfers of business: supplementary provisions), if the application referred to subsection (2) of that section was made, or should have been made, to the PRA; Schedule 8A, paragraph 3(5) (directions under section 42B(3)), if the PRA has given a direction under section 42B(3); Schedule 8A, paragraph 9(5) (directions under section 42B(4)), if the PRA has given a direction under section 42B(4); Schedule 11, paragraph 3 (auditors: appointment), if the failure referred to in sub-paragraph (2) of that paragraph relates to a failure to give notice to the PRA in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) of that paragraph; Schedule 11, paragraph 6 (auditors: removal), if the failure referred to in sub-paragraph (3) of that paragraph relates to a failure to give notice to the PRA in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) of that paragraph; Schedule 11, paragraph 7 (auditors: resignation), if the default referred to in sub-paragraph (8) of that paragraph relates to a failure to send any notice or statement to the PRA in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) or (7) of that paragraph; Schedule 15, paragraph 21 (application of companies winding up legislation to building societies: winding up by the court), if the failure referred to in sub-paragraph (4) of that paragraph relates to a failure to give notice to the PRA in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) of that paragraph; Schedule 15, paragraph 48 (modified application of Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989: winding up by the High Court), if the failure referred to in sub-paragraph (4) of that paragraph relates to a failure to give notice to the PRA in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) of that paragraph; and Schedule 16, paragraph 6 (mergers: penalty), if the default referred to in sub-paragraph (1) of that paragraph relates to a failure to send a copy of a statement or notification to the PRA in accordance with paragraph 5(1) of that Schedule. The period is one year beginning with the date on which evidence comes to the knowledge of one or both of the FCA and the PRA, being evidence sufficient in the opinion of the FCA or the PRA (as the case may be) to justify a prosecution. Nothing in subsection (1) or (1A) above shall authorise the commencement of proceedings for any offence at a time more than three years after the date on which the offence was committed. For the purposes of subsection (1) and subsection (1C) of this section a certificate, purporting to be signed by or on behalf of the FCA or the PRA , as to the date on which such evidence as is mentioned in the relevant subsection came to its knowledge, shall be conclusive evidence of that date. In the application of this section to Scotland— for subsection (1), substitute— Notwithstanding any limitation on the time for the taking of proceedings contained in any Act, summary proceedings for any offence under this Act may, subject to subsection (2), be commenced by the Lord Advocate at any time within the period of one year beginning with the date on which evidence sufficient in the opinion of the Lord Advocate to justify a prosecution for the offence, comes to the knowledge of the Lord Advocate omit subsections (1A), (1B) and (1C); and for subsection (3), substitute— For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section a certificate, purporting to be signed by or on behalf of the Lord Advocate, as to the date on which such evidence as is mentioned in that subsection came to the knowledge of the Lord Advocate, shall be conclusive evidence of that date. In the application of this section to Scotland, section 136(3) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 shall apply for the purposes of this section as it applies for the purposes of that section. Where an offence under any provision of this Act committed by a building society is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of, or to be attributable to any neglect on the part of, any officer of the society he, as well as the society, shall be guilty of that offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished in accordance with that provision.

Where an offence under any provision of this Act committed by a body corporate other than a building society is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance, or to be attributable to any neglect on the part of, any officer of the body corporate he, as well as the body corporate, shall be guilty of that offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly. In any proceedings for an offence under this Act, it shall be a defence for a person charged to prove that he took all reasonable precautions and exercised all due diligence to avoid the commission of such an offence by himself or any person under his control Any document bearing the seal or stamp of the FCA shall be received in evidence without further proof. Any document purporting to have been signed by a person authorised to do so on behalf of the FCA or the PRA shall, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, be received in evidence without proof of the signature. In subsections (1) and (1A), “document” means any document issued, received or created by the FCA or the PRA for the purposes of or in connection with this Act. Any printed document purporting to be a copy of the rules or memorandum of a building society, and certified by the secretary or other officer of the society to be a true copy of its rules or memorandum as registered, shall be received in evidence and shall, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, be deemed to be a true copy of its rules or memorandum. Subject to any other provision of this Act or regulations under it, any record to be kept by a building society may be kept in any manner. Where any such record is not kept by making entries in a bound book, but by some other means, adequate precautions shall be taken for guarding against falsification and facilitating its discovery. The power in subsection (1) above includes power to keep the record by recording matters otherwise than in legible form so long as the recording is capable of being reproduced in a legible form; and any duty imposed by or under this Act to allow inspection of, or to furnish a copy of, the record or any part of it is to be treated as a duty to allow inspection of, or to furnish, a reproduction of the recording or of the relevant part of it in a legible form. The Treasury may by regulations, make such provision in addition to subsection (3) above as they consider appropriate in connecton with such records as are kept otherwise than in legible form; and the regulations may make modifications of this Act so far as it relates to the records of building societies. If default is made in complying with this section the building society shall be liable on summary conviction— to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale, and in the case of a continuing offence, to an additional fine not exceeding £100 for every day during which the offence continues, This section has effect in relation to any notice, directions or other document required or authorised by or under any provision of this Act or by the rules of a building society to be served on any person other than the FCA and the PRA but subject, in the case of notices or other documents to be given or sent to members of a building society, to any provision of its rules. Any such document may be served on the person in question— by delivering it to him; by leaving it at his proper address; or by sending it by post to him at that address. The reference in subsection (2)(a) to delivering a document to a person includes a reference to sending it electronically to an electronic address which that person has notified for the purpose in accordance with express provision made by this Act. Any such document may— in the case of a building society, be served on the secretary of the society; in the case of a body corporate (other than a building society), be served on the secretary or clerk of that body; in the case of a partnership, be served on any partner; in the case of an unincorporated association other than a partnership, be served on any member of its governing body.

For the purposes of this Act, a person is to be taken to have agreed with a building society to access a document, information or facility on a web site if— the person has been asked individually by the society to agree to access documents, information or facilities generally, or documents, information or facilities of the description in question, on a web site, and the society has not received a response within the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which the society's request was received. This is subject to subsections (2) to (4). A person is not to be taken to have so agreed if the society's request— did not state clearly what the effect of a failure to respond would be, or was sent less than 12 months after a previous request made to the person for the purposes of this section in respect of the same or a similar description of document, information or facility. A person who is taken to have made an agreement by virtue of subsection (1) may revoke the agreement. Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to the following documents— a statement required to be sent to members by paragraph 1(1) of Schedule 16 (statements in connection with proposed mergers); a merger statement (within the meaning of Part 2 of that Schedule) required to be sent to members by paragraph 3 of that Schedule; a transfer statement or transfer summary (within the meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 17) required to be sent to members by paragraph 4(1) or (2) of that Schedule; a transfer proposal notification (within the meaning of Part 1A of Schedule 17) required to be sent to members by paragraph 5B(1) of that Schedule. Where a person has received a document or information from a building society otherwise than in hard copy form, the person is entitled to require the society to send the person a version of the document or information in hard copy form. The society must send the document or information in hard copy form within 21 days of receipt of the request from the person. The society may not make a charge for providing the document or information in that form. Subsection (1) does not apply if the recipient of the document or information is the FCA or the PRA. A building society that fails to comply with this section is to be treated as having contravened rules made under section 137A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. For the purposes of this section a person is treated as receiving a document or information from a building society if— the society is required by this Act to send the document or information to the person, and the requirement to send it is treated as satisfied. a document or information is sent or supplied in hard copy form if it is sent or supplied in a paper copy or similar form capable of being read, and a document or information can be read only if it can be read with the naked eye, or (to the extent that it consists of images) it can be seen with the naked eye. A document or information that is sent or supplied by a building society otherwise than in hard copy form or electronically or by means of a web site is validly sent or supplied if it is sent or supplied in a form or manner that has been agreed by the intended recipient. For the purposes of this section “hard copy form” is to be read in accordance with section 115B(7). The FCA and the PRA may each , by directions under this section, make provision with respect to the form of, and the particulars to be included in, any document to be sent to it under this Act. The PRA and the FCA must each consult the other before issuing a direction under this section if the document in question is required to be sent to both of them. The directions have effect subject to any other provision of or made under this Act. A building society's financial years (apart from its final financial year) are determined according to its year-end date in each calendar year. The year-end date of a building society established before 25th August 1894 is— the date up to which, as at 1st January 1987, the accounts of the society were annually made up, or if the society has, at any time before the day on which subsection (1) comes into force (“the relevant day”), altered its financial year in exercise of a power within subsection (1B), 31st December. The powers referred to in subsection (1A)(b) are— the power conferred by section 70(2) of the Building Societies Act 1960, the power conferred by section 128(2) of the Building Societies Act 1962, and the power conferred by subsection (3) of this section (as it had effect immediately before the relevant day). The year-end date of a building society established on or after 25th August 1894 and before the relevant day is 31st December. The year-end date of a building society established on or after the relevant day is the last day of the month in which the anniversary of its establishment falls. The financial year of a building society established before the relevant day is the period of 12 months ending with the year-end date of the society (but see subsection (1G)). In the case of a building society established on or after the relevant day— the initial financial year of the society shall be the period of more than 6 months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with the date of its establishment and ending with its year-end date, and its subsequent financial years are successive periods of 12 months beginning immediately after the end of the previous financial year and ending with its year-end date (but see subsection (1G)). The final financial year of a building society is a period of less than 12 months that begins immediately after the end of the previous financial year and ends with the date as at which the society makes up its final accounts. This section has effect subject to section 117A (alteration of financial year). A building society may by notice given to the FCA specify a new year-end date. A notice given under subsection (1) has effect in relation to— the financial year in which the notice is given (“the current financial year”), and subsequent financial years. The notice must state whether the current financial year— is to be shortened, so as to come to an end on the first occasion on which the new year-end date falls or fell after the beginning of the current financial year, or is to be extended, so as to come to an end on the second occasion on which that date falls or fell after the beginning of the current financial year. A notice extending a building society's financial year is not effective if given less than 5 years after the end of an earlier financial year of the society that was extended under this section. A financial year of a building society may not be extended so as to exceed 18 months and a notice under subsection (1) is ineffective if the current financial year as extended in accordance with the notice would exceed that limit. This section has effect for determining for the purposes of this Act whether, in any financial year, a building society has a “qualifying asset holding”. A building society has a qualifying asset holding in any financial year, if, and only if, the aggregate value of its total commercial assets, as shown in its annual accounts for the previous year, is not less than £100 million or such other amount as may be substituted for it under subsection (3) below. The Commission, with the consent of the Treasury, may by order made by statutory instrument substitute for the amount for the time being specified in subsection (2) above such other amount as the Commission considers appropriate. An order under subsection (3) above may contain such transitional provisions as the Commission considers necessary or expedient. An instrument containing an order under subsection (3) above shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

Any reference in this Act to the seal of the FCA is a reference to the seal provided for in regulations made under section 109(1)(b) of the Friendly Societies Act 1974 (and not to the FCA’s common seal).

In this Act “associated undertaking”, in relation to a building society, means an undertaking (other than a subsidiary undertaking of the society)— in which the society (or the group of which the society is a member) holds a participating interest, and over whose operating and financial policy the society (or group) exercises a significant influence. A “participating interest” means an interest in the shares of the undertaking held on a long term basis for the purpose of securing a contribution to the activities of the society (or group) by the exercise of control or influence arising from or related to that interest.

A holding of 20% or more of the voting rights in an undertaking is presumed to result in the exercise of such influence as is mentioned in subsection (1)(b), unless the contrary is shown. the voting rights in an undertaking means the rights conferred on shareholders in respect of their shares or, in the case of an undertaking not having a share capital, on members, to vote on all, or substantially all, matters affecting the undertaking; and the provisions of paragraphs 5 to 11 of Schedule 7 to the Companies Act 2006 (rights to be taken into account and attribution of rights) apply in determining whether the society (or the group) holds 20% or more of the voting rights in an undertaking. References in this section to the group of which the society is a member at any time are to the undertakings that would fall to be included in the consolidation if consolidated group accounts were to be drawn up by the society at that time. An undertaking is not an “associated undertaking” of a building society for the purposes of this Act if, in such accounts, it would fall to be dealt with as a joint venture (that is, an undertaking managed jointly with one or more undertakings not included in the consolidation). The enactment specified in Schedule 18 to this Act shall have effect with the amendments made by that Schedule. Subject to the saving provisions of Schedule 20, and of any order under section 121, the enactments specified in Schedule 19 to this Act are hereby repealed or revoked to the extent specified in the third column of that Schedule. Where any enactment amended or repealed or revoked by subsection (1) or (2) above extends to any part of the United Kingdom, the amendment or repeal or revocation extends to that part. The transitional and saving provisions of Schedule 20 to this Act shall have effect. The Treasury may, by order made by statutory instrument, make such provision as appears to them to be necessary or expedient for the purposes of the transition to the provisions of this Act from the existing enactments applicable in England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland to building societies. modify any of the existing enactments or provisions of this Act, in particular in their application to proceedings pending before the Chief Registrar or the Commission; create criminal offences or otherwise provide for the enforcement of obligations imposed by or under the order; provide for the charging of fees but not of any charge in the nature of taxation. An order under this section which contains any provision authorised by subsection (2)(b) or (c) above shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. In this section “the existing enactments” means the enactments in force at the passing of this Act, including any enactment amended by Schedule 18 to this Act. ... Subject to section 120(3), this Act extends to Northern Ireland. This Act may be cited as the Building Societies Act 1986. This Act shall come into operation as follows. Part I (and Schedule 1) shall come into operation at the end of the period of two months beginning with the day on which this Act is passed. The remaining provisions of this Act, except sections 121, ... 125, this section, in Schedule 20, paragraph 7 (and section 120(4) so far as it relates to that paragraph) ..., shall come into operation on such day as the Treasury may appoint by order made by statutory instrument and different days may be appointed for different provisions or different purposes. Any reference to the commencement of or the commencement date for a provision of this Act is a reference to the date appointed under this section for that provision to come into operation. The Commission shall be a body corporate. The person who holds office as Chief Registrar may also hold the office of chairman of the Commission and any person who holds office as an assistant registrar may also hold office as a member of the Commission. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, a person shall hold and vacate office as a member or the chairman or deputy chairman of the Commission in accordance with the terms of the instrument appointing him to that office. A person may at any time resign office as a member or the chairman or deputy chairman of the Commission by giving the Treasury a signed notice stating that he resigns that office. When a member becomes or ceases to be the chairman or deputy chairman, the Treasury may vary the terms of his appointment so as to alter the date on which he is to vacate office as a member. If the chairman or deputy chairman ceases to be a member, he shall cease to be the chairman or deputy chairman, as the case may be. If the Treasury are satisfied that a member— has been absent from meetings of the Commission for a period longer than three consecutive months without the permission of the Commission, or has become bankrupt or made an arrangement with his creditors, or is incapacitated by physical or mental illness, or is otherwise unable or unfit to discharge the functions of his office, the Treasury may declare his office as a member vacant, and shall notify the declaration in such manner as they think fit; and thereupon the office shall become vacant. No person who has attained the age of 70 years is eligible to be or to remain a part-time member of the Commission. The Commission shall pay to its part-time members such fees for services and such allowances in respect of expenses as may be determined by the Treasury. If the Treasury so determines in the case of any person who is or has been a part-time member of the Commission, the Commission shall pay or make arrangements for the payment of such pensions to or in respect of that person as the Treasury may determine. Where a person who is a part-time member of the Commission ceases to be a member otherwise than on the expiry of his term of office and it appears to the Treasury that there are special circumstances which make it right for that person to receive compensation, the Treasury may direct the Commission to make to that person a payment of such amount as the Treasury may determine. In part II of Schedule 1 to the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975 (bodies of which all members are disqualified under that Act) there shall be inserted at the appropriate place the entry: “The Building Societies Commission". A corresponding amendment shall be made in Part II of Schedule 1 to the Northern Ireland Assembly Disqualification Act 1975. The Commission may appoint such staff as the chairman of the Commission thinks fit, subject to the approval of the Treasury as to numbers and as to terms and conditions of service. The quorum of the Commission and the arrangements relating to its meeting shall be such as the Commission may determine. The validity of any proceedings of the Commission shall not be affected by any vacancy among the members or by any defect in the appointment of a member. With the exception 34specified in sub-paragraph (2) below, the Commission may authorise any member or members of the Commission, any committee or sub-committee of the Commission, or any officer, servant or agent of the Commission, to perform on behalf of the Commission such of the Commission’s functions (including the power conferred by this paragraph) as are specified in the authorisation. The Commission shall not delegate any power it has under this Act to make orders, rules or regulations by statutory instrument. The Statutory Instruments Act 1946 shall apply to all powers of the Commission of making statutory instruments under this Act as if the Commission were a Minister of the Crown. The fixing of the common seal of the Commission shall be authenticated by the signature of the chairman or deputy chairman or by some other person authorised by the Commission to act for that purpose. A document purporting to be duly executed under the seal of the Commission shall be received in evidence and shall, unless the contrary is proved, be deemed to be so executed. A document purporting to be signed on behalf of the Commission shall be received in evidence and shall, unless the contrary is proved, be deemed to be so signed. Any ten or more persons may establish a society under this Act by taking the following steps— agreeing upon the purpose or principal purpose of the society and upon the extent of its powers in a memorandum the provisions of which comply with the requirements of this Part of this Schedule; agreeing upon rules for the regulation of the society which comply with the requirements of this Part of this Schedule; sending to the FCA three copies of the memorandum and the rules, each copy signed by at least ten of those persons (or, if there are only ten, by all of them) and by the intended secretary. Where copies of the memorandum and rules are sent to the FCA in accordance with sub-paragraph (1)(c) above, the FCA , if satisfied that— the provisions of the memorandum are in conformity with this Act and any instruments under it, the rules are in conformity with this Act, the intended name of the society is not, in its opinion, undesirable, shall register the society and issue it with a certificate of incorporation. On registering a building society under sub-paragraph (2) above, the FCA shall— return another copy to the secretary of the society, together with a certificate of registration, and keep another copy, together with a copy of the certificate of incorporation, and of the certificate of registration of the memorandum and the rules, in the public file of the society. In this Act “memorandum”, in relation to a building society, means the memorandum of the purpose and the extent of the powers of the society including the record of any alteration under paragraph 4 below. The memorandum of a building society shall state the purpose or principal purpose of the society to be that of making loans which are secured on residential property and are funded substantially by its members. The memorandum of a building society shall specify— the name of the society and the address of its principal office; any purposes of the society other than that mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above; and the powers of the society. The provisions of the memorandum of a building society, as read with the provisions of ths Act as in force for the time being, are binding upon— each of the members and officers of the society; and all persons claiming on account of a member or under the rules; and all such members, officers and persons so claiming and all persons dealing with the society shall be taken to have notice of those provisions. Where any adoptable power conferred by virtue of an instrument under a provision of this Act ceases, by reason of the amendment or revocation of the instrument, to be available to building societies or building societies of any description, every society affected by the amendment or revocation shall annex to its memorandum a note of the fact that, as from the operative date of the instrument, it no longer has that power and shall send a copy of the note to the Authority which shall keep the copy in the public file of the society. The rules of a building society shall provide for the matters specified in the Table in sub-paragraph (4) below. The rules of a building society are binding upon each of the members and officers of the society and on all persons claiming on account of a member or under the rules; and all such members, officers and persons (but no others) shall be taken to have notice of the rules. Nothing in this paragraph shall be taken to authorise any provision to be made which is inconsistent with this Act or an instrument made under it by . . . the Treasury or to affect the operation of any provision of this Act making rules void to any specified extent.

Nothing in the rules of a society shall prevent the service of a notice or other document by the society— by sending it electronically to an electronic address notified for the purpose in accordance with express provision made by this Act; or by its publication on a web site in accordance with any such provision. A building society may by special resolution alter its purposes, alter its powers or alter its rules. Where a building society alters its purpose or powers or its rules under this paragraph, it shall send to the FCA — three copies of a record of the alteration signed by the secretary; and a statutory declaration by the secretary that the alteration was effected by a resolution passed as a special resolution and that the record is a true record of the resolution. On altering its purpose or powers or its rules under this paragraph the building society shall determine the date on which it intends the alteration to take effect; and the record of the alteration shall specify that date (in this paragraph referred to as “the specified date”). Where copies of a record of an alteration of a building society’s purpose, powers or rules are sent to the FCA under sub-paragraph (2) above and the FCA is satisfied that the alteration is in conformity with this Act and (where applicable) any instruments under it, the FCA shall, subject to paragraph 19 below— retain and register one of the copies, return another to the secretary of the society together with a certificate of registration of the alteration, and keep another copy, together with a copy of the certificate of registration of the alteration, in the public file of the society.

Any provision in the rules of a building society that the memorandum or rules may be altered without passing a special resolution shall be void. If a building society arranges for the publication in consolidated form of its rules or memorandum as altered for the time being, it shall send a copy to the FCA and the FCA — shall keep the copy in the public file of the society, but shall not register the copy. If a building society fails to comply with sub-paragraph (2) above, the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. The rules of a building society shall provide that no person shall be a member of the society unless he is a shareholding member or a borrowing member or both. In this Act, in relation to a building society— “borrowing member” means, subject to sub-paragraphs (2A) and (2B) and paragraph 29(2) below, an individual who is indebted to the society— in respect of a loan which is fully secured on land; or if the rules of the society so provide, in respect of a loan which is (within the meaning of the rules) substantially secured on land; “shareholding member” means a person who holds a share in the society. If the rules of a building society so provide, an individual shall cease to be a borrowing member at any time if at that time the society— takes possession of, or exercises its power of sale in relation to, the whole or any part of the land on which the loan is secured; or obtains an order for foreclosure absolute or, in Scotland, foreclosure in respect of the whole or any part of that land. Unless the rules of a building society so provide, an individual shall not be a borrowing member at any time if at that time the loan is owed to the society in equity rather than at law. A person who is a minor— may, if the rules do not otherwise provide, be admitted as a member of a building society and give all necessary receipts; but may not propose a resolution, vote or hold any office in the society; and may not join in requisitioning a special meeting or nominate, or join in nominating, a person for election as a director of the society. The liability at any time of a shareholding member of a building society shall be limited to the amount which, at that time, has been actually paid, or is in arrear, on his shares in the society. The liability at any time of a borrowing member of a building society shall be limited to the amount which, at that time, is payable under the mortgage or other security by which his indebtedness to the society in respect of the loan is secured. Two or more persons may jointly hold shares in a building society and the following provisions of this paragraph shall apply to any shares so held. In this paragraph, in relation to any shares jointly held, “representative joint holder” means that one of the joint holders who is named first in the records of the society. Except where the rules of the society otherwise provide, any notice or other document may be given or sent by the society to the joint holders by being given or sent to the representative joint holder; but this sub-paragraph shall not prevent any of the joint holders from exercising the rights under this Act of a member of a building society to obtain from the society on demand a copy of ... the annual accounts and the annual business statement. For the purpose of determining— who is entitled to vote in an election of directors of the society; who is qualified to vote on a resolution of the society, and where it is relevant, the number of votes a person may then give, the shares shall be treated as held by the representative joint holder alone; and accordingly a person who is a member of the society by reason only of being a joint holder of those shares (other than the representative joint holder) shall not be entitled to vote in any such election or qualified to vote on any such resolution. For the purposes of sections 87 and 93 to 102 the shares shall be treated as held by the representative joint holder alone; and accordingly a person who is a member of the society by reason only of being a joint holder of those shares (other than the representative joint holder) shall not be regarded as a member of the society for the purposes of those sections. In its application to section 100, sub-paragraph (5) above shall have effect subject to the provisions of section 102A. The representative joint holder (but none of the other joint holders) shall have the right to join in making an application under section 56 and any reference in that section to the total membership of a building society shall be construed accordingly. In the register to be maintained under paragraph 13 below the entry of that one of the joint holders who is the representative joint holder shall indicate that fact. The joint holders shall be entitled to choose the order in which they are named in the records of the society. Where a loan secured on land is made by a building society to two or more persons jointly the following provisions of this paragraph shall apply to their rights as borrowing members of the society. In this paragraph, in relation to any rights of theirs as borrowing members, “representative joint borrowers” means that one of the joint borrowers who is named first in the records of the society. Except where the rules of the society otherwise provide, any notice or other document may be given or sent by the society to the joint borrowers by being given or sent to the representative joint borrowers; but this sub-paragraph shall not prevent any of the joint borrowers from exercising the rights under this Act of a borrowing member of a building society to obtain from the society on demand a copy of ... the annual accounts and the annual business statement. who is entitled to vote in any election of directors of the society, and who is qualified to vote on a resolution of the society, the rights of the joint borrowers as borrowing members of the society shall be treated as the rights of the representative joint borrower alone; and accordingly a person who is a member of the society by reason only of being a joint borrower (other than the representative joint borrower) shall not be entitled to vote in any such election or qualified to vote on any such resolution. For the purposes of sections 87 and 93 to 102 the rights of the joint borrowers as borrowing members of the society shall be treated as the rights of the representative joint borrower alone; and accordingly a person who is a member of the society by reason only of being a joint borrower (other than the representative joint borrower) shall not be regarded as a borrowing member of the society for the purposes of those sections. The representative joint borrower (but none of the other joint borrowers) shall have the right to join in making an application under section 56 and any reference in that section to the total membership of a building society shall be construed accordingly.

In the register to be maintained under paragraph 13 below the entry of that one of the joint borrowers who is the representative joint borrower shall indicate that fact. The joint borrowers shall be entitled to choose the order in which they are named in the records of the society. The common seal of a building society shall bear the registered name of the society. Every building society shall paint or affix, and keep painted or affixed, its registered name on the outside of every office or place in which its business is carried on, in a conspicuous position and in letters easily legible. Every building society shall state its registered name in legible characters in all of the following documents, in every electronic communication containing any of the following documents and on every web site on which any of the following documents is published, namely— its business letters; its account statements, including those relating to deposit, share, loan or mortgage accounts; its passbooks; its notices and publications, including all documents sent to members; its invoices and receipts; its letters of credit and any instruments creating or acknowledging its indebtedness; its contracts, agreements, mortgages and deeds; and its bills of exchange, promissory notes, endorsements, cheques and orders for money or goods. A building society may change its name by special resolution. Where a society changes its name in accordance with this paragraph notice of the change of name shall be sent to the FCA and, unless the FCA is of the opinion that the changed name is undesirable, the FCA shall register the notice of the change of name and give the society a certificate of registration. A change of name shall take effect on the date on which the certificate of registration under sub-paragraph (4) above is issued or on such later date as may be specified in the certificate. The FCA shall keep a copy of the certificate of registration issued under sub-paragraph (4) above in the public file of the society. A change of name shall not affect the rights and obligations of the society or of any of its members or of any other person concerned. For the purposes of this paragraph and paragraphs 10 to 10C below “registered name”, in relation to a building society, means the name of the society which is for the time being registered with the FCA . If a building society does not— paint or affix its registered name; or keep its registered name painted or affixed, as required by paragraph 9(2) above, the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. A building society which, without reasonable excuse, does not comply with paragraph 9(2A) above shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. If an officer of a building society or a person on its behalf issues or authorises the issue of any document mentioned in paragraph 9(2A)(a) to (g) above, in which the society’s registered name is not stated as required by that paragraph, he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. If an officer of a building society or a person on its behalf signs or authorises to be signed on behalf of the building society any document mentioned in paragraph 9(2A)(h) above in which the society’s registered name is not stated as required by that paragraph— he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale; and he shall be further personally liable to the holder of the bill of exchange, promissory note, cheque or order for money or goods for the amount of it (unless it is duly paid by the building society). If a building society fails to send to the FCA a notice which it is required to send to it under paragraph 9(4) above, the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. This paragraph and paragraph 10B below apply where a building society carries on business under a name other than the following, namely— its registered name; its registered name with the omission of the words “Building Society”; and its registered name with an addition which merely indicates that the business is carried on in succession to a former building society with which it has merged. The society shall not, without the written approval of the FCA , carry on business under a name which— would be likely to give the impression that the business is connected with Her Majesty’s Government or with any local authority, or includes any word or expression for the time being specified in regulations made under sub-paragraph (3) below. The Treasury may, by regulations— specify words or expressions for the use of which as or as part of a business name the approval of the FCA is required by sub-paragraph (2) above, and in relation to any such word or expression, specify a Government department or other body for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) below. Where the society proposes to carry on business under a name which is or includes any such word or expression, and a government department or other body is specified under sub-paragraph (3)(b) above in relation to that word or expression, the society shall— request (in writing) the relevant body to indicate whether (and if so why) it has any objections to the proposal, and submit to the FCA a statement that such a request has been made and a copy of any response received from the relevant body. For the purposes of this paragraph “local authority” means— any local authority within the meaning of the Local Government Act 1972, the Common Council of the City of London or the Council of the Isles of Scilly; any local authority within the meaning of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994; any district council within the meaning of the Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 1972. Paragraph 9(2A) above shall have effect as if after the words “in legible characters” there were inserted the words “ which are reasonably prominent ”. The society shall in all documents mentioned in paragraph 9(2A) above state in legible characters an address in the United Kingdom at which service of any document relating in any way to the business will be effective. The society shall also in any premises where the business is carried on and to which the members of the society, the customers of the business or suppliers of any goods or services to the business have access, display in a prominent position so that it may easily be read by such persons a notice containing the society’s registered name and the address mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) above. The society shall secure that the registered name and the address mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) above is immediately given, by written notice, to any person with whom anything is done or discussed in the course of the business and who asks for the registered name or the address. The Treasury may, by regulations require a notice under sub-paragraph (3) or (4) above to be displayed or given in a specified form. A building society which contravenes paragraph 10A(2) above shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. A building society which, without reasonable excuse, does not comply with paragraph 9(2A) or 10B(2), (3) or (4) above, or any regulations made under paragraph 10B(5) above, shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. Where paragraph 10A above applies any legal proceedings brought by the society to enforce a right arising out of a contract made in the course of the business in respect of which the society was, at the time the contract was made, in breach of paragraph 9(2A) or 10B(2), (3) or (4) above shall be dismissed if the defendant (or, in Scotland, the defender) to the proceedings shows— that he has a claim against the plaintiff (pursuer) arising out of that contract which he has been unable to pursue by reason of the plaintiff’s (pursuer’s) breach of paragraph 9(2A) or 10B(2), (3) or (4) above, or that he has suffered some financial loss in connection with the contract by reason of the latter’s breach of paragraph 9(2A) or 10B(2), (3) or (4) above, unless the court before which the proceedings are brought is satisfied that it is just and equitable to let the proceedings continue. Sub-paragraph (3) above is without prejudice to the right of any person to enforce such rights as he may have against another person in any proceedings brought by that person. Regulations made under paragraph 10A(3) or 10B(5) above shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment by resolution of either House of Parliament. Such regulations may contain such transitional provisions and savings as the Treasury think fit, and may make different provision for different cases or classes of case. A building society may change its principal office— in such manner as its rules direct, or if there is no such direction in the rules, by an ordinary resolution. Notice of any such change and of the date of it shall, within seven days after the change, be sent to the FCA and the FCA shall keep the notice in the public file of the society. It is not necessary to alter the memorandum or rules of a building society by reason only that its principal office is changed. If a building society fails to send to the FCA a notice which it is required to send to it under sub-paragraph (2) above, the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. A building society shall, on demand, give a copy of its statutory documents— free of charge, to any member of the society to whom a copy of those documents has not previously been given, and to any other person, upon payment of such fee as the society may require, not exceeding the prescribed amount. The reference in sub-paragraph (1) above to a copy of a building society’s statutory documents is a reference to— a printed copy of the society’s rules for the time being, with a copy of the certificate of incorporation of the society annexed to it, and a printed copy of the memorandum of the society for the time being. If a building society fails to comply with the requirements of sub-paragraph (1) above, the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. In sub-paragraph (1) above the “prescribed amount” means £1 or such other amount as the Treasury prescribe by order made by statutory instrument. Every building society shall maintain a register of members showing— the name and postal address of each member; and whether each member is a shareholding member or a borrowing member or both. Where a member has notified to the building society an electronic address for the purpose of receiving notices or documents required to be sent by the society under this Act, the register shall show— the electronic address in addition to the postal address of the member; and the purposes for which the electronic address has been notified. The register shall be kept at the principal office or at such other place or places as the directors think fit. If a building society contravenes sub-paragraph (1) above, the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. For the purposes of this Act “registered address” in relation to a member of a building society, means— the postal address shown in the register maintained under this paragraph, except in a case where paragraph (b) below applies; where the member has requested that communications from the society be sent to some other postal address, that other address. A building society is not obliged by any provision of this Act or its rules to send a notice or other document to a member in whose case the society has reason to believe that communications sent to him at his registered address are unlikely to be received by him. Where the requirement relates to notice of a meeting or postal ballot of the society, the society must, instead, comply with the advertising requirements of paragraph 35 below. At any time when a building society— has had its permission under Part 4A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 to accept deposits cancelled; and has not subsequently been given such permission, a member of the society shall, subject to sub-paragraph (1A) below, have the right to obtain, from the register kept under paragraph 13 above, the names and addresses of members of the society, for the purpose of communicating with them on a subject relating to the affairs of the society. Sub-paragraph (1) above shall not apply unless the member in question— is qualified under the rules of the society to join in a members’ requisition for a special meeting, or to join in nominating a person for election as a director; or would be so qualified if any requirements as to length of time a person must have been a shareholding or borrowing member were omitted. If, at any time not falling within sub-paragraph (1) above, a member of a building society who is qualified under the rules of the society to join in a members’ requisition for a special meeting, or to join in nominating a person for election as a director, makes a written application to the FCA for the right to obtain names and addresses from the register, the FCA — if satisfied that the applicant— requires that right for the purpose of communicating with members of the society on a subject relating to its affairs; and has not, since making the application, voluntarily ceased to be a member of the society; and having regard to the interests of the members as a whole and to all the other circumstances; ... The FCA may charge a reasonable fee for considering an application under sub-paragraph (2) above. Any direction under sub-paragraph (2) above may be given subject to such limitations or conditions as the FCA may think fit. The FCA must consult the PRA before giving a direction under sub-paragraph (2). Before giving a direction under sub-paragraph (2) above, the FCA shall give particulars of the application to the building society and shall afford the society an opportunity of making representations with respect to the application; and the FCA shall, if the applicant or the society so requests, afford to the applicant and to the society an opportunity of being heard by it. A member entitled under this paragraph to obtain the names of members of a building society may apply in writing to the society, describing in the application the subject on which he proposes to communicate with other members of the society; and the society shall give him all necessary information as to the place or places where the register, or part of it, is kept, and reasonable facilities for inspecting the register and taking a copy of any names and addresses in the register. A building society shall not be obliged to disclose to a member making an application under this paragraph any particulars contained in the register other than the names of the members and their addresses, and may construct the register in such a way that it is possible to disclose the names and addresses to inspection without disclosing any such other particulars. No information obtained under sub-paragraph (1) or (2) above or this sub-paragraph and relating to a member of the society may be disclosed except— with the consent of that member; or in the case of information obtained under sub-paragraph (1) or (2) above, for purposes connected with the purpose mentioned in that paragraph. Any person who discloses information in contravention of sub-paragraph (7) above shall be liable— The validity of an act done by a building society shall not be called into question on the ground of lack of capacity by reason of anything included in the society’s memorandum. A member of a building society may bring proceedings to restrain the doing of an act which but for sub-paragraph (1) above would be beyond the society’s capacity; but no such proceedings shall lie in respect of an act to be done in fulfilment of a legal obligation arising from a previous act of the society. It remains the duty of the directors of a building society to observe any limitations on their powers flowing from the society’s memorandum; and action by the directors which but for sub-paragraph (1) above would be beyond the society’s capacity may only be ratified by the society by special resolution. A resolution ratifying such action shall not affect any liability incurred by the directors or any other person; relief from any such liability must be agreed to separately by special resolution. In favour of a person dealing with a building society in good faith, the power of the board of directors to bind the society, or authorise others to do so, shall not be limited by reason of anything included in the society’s constitution, that is to say, its memorandum and rules. a person deals with a building society if he is a party to any transaction or other act to which the society is a party; a person shall not be regarded as acting in bad faith by reason only of his knowing that an act is beyond the powers of the directors under the society’s constitution; and a person shall be presumed to have acted in good faith unless the contrary is proved. The references above to limitations on the directors’ powers under the society’s constitution include limitations deriving from a resolution of the society passed at a general meeting or special meeting or on a postal or electronic ballot, or from any agreement between the members of the society. Notwithstanding anything in paragraph 3(2) above, sub-paragraph (1) above applies in relation to members of the society, and to persons claiming on account of members or under the rules of the society, as it applies in relation to other persons. Sub-paragraph (1) above does not affect any right of a member of the society to bring proceedings to restrain the doing of an act which is beyond the powers of the directors; but no such proceedings shall lie in respect of an act to be done in fulfilment of a legal obligation arising from a previous act of the society. Nor does that sub-paragraph affect any liability incurred by the directors, or any other person, by reason of the directors’ exceeding their powers. A party to a transaction with a building society is not bound to enquire as to whether it is permitted by the society’s constitution or as to any limitation on the powers of the board of directors to bind the society or authorise others to do so. Notwithstanding anything in paragraph 3(2) above, sub-paragraph (1) above applies in relation to members of the society as it applies in relation to other persons. The central office, on receiving from a building society the declaration required by and the other documents referred to in paragraph 16 above, shall refer to the Commission for its determination the question whether or not the alteration of the society’s powers is to be registered. On a reference to the Commission of the question whether or not the alteration of a society’s powers is to be registered— if the declaration contains the statement specified in paragraph 16(3)(a) above and the Commission has no reasonable cause to believe that the society in question has carried on any activity comprised in the power to which the obligation imposed by paragraph 16 above extends at any time during the period which began one year before the specified date and expired on the date on which it considers the reference, the Commission shall direct the central office to register the alteration, and in any other case, the Commission may, as it thinks fit, direct the central office to register, or not to register, the alteration. The Commission, in deciding, in a case falling within subparagraph (2)(b) above, whether or not to direct the registration of the alteration of a society’s powers may have regard to all the circumstances of the case. No registration of an alteration shall be effected by the central office under paragraph 4(4) above before the expiry of the period of 21 days beginning with the date on which it receives the declaration required by and the other documents referred to in paragraph 16 above. If the central office, in pursuance of a direction of the Commission under sub-paragraph (2) above, refuses registration of the alteration of a society’s powers under sub-paragraph (1) above it shall serve on the society a notice— recording its refusal, specifying the activity which is believed to constitute a breach of the society’s obligation, and directing the society to make an application to the Commission under section 38 for a determination under that section whether the activity was or was not within the powers of the society at the time specified under sub-paragraph (b) above, and shall send a copy of the notice to the Commission. The central office shall comply with any direction as regards the registration of the alteration of the society’s powers given to it by the Commission consequent on the Commission’s determination of the society’s powers under section 38. In this paragraph “the specified date” has the same meaning as in paragraph 4 above. Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, every building society shall hold a meeting in the first four months of each financial year as its annual general meeting (in addition to any other meetings in that year) and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Sub-paragraph (1) above does not require a building society to hold an annual general meeting in the calendar year in which it is incorporated. If default is made in holding a meeting in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) above, the FCA may— call, or direct the calling of, an annual general meeting in that financial year, and give such ancillary or consequential directions as it thinks expedient, including directions modifying or supplementing the operation of the rules of the society in relation to the calling, holding and conducting of the meeting. Notwithstanding anything in the rules of a building society, the business which may be dealt with at the annual general meeting shall include any resolution whether special or not. In any case where default is made— in holding an annual general meeting in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) above, or in complying with any directions of the FCA given under sub-paragraph (3) above, the building society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. On a members’ requisition, a building society shall— duly call a special meeting, and specify the meeting as such in the notice calling it; and if so required by the requisition, send to each member entitled to receive notice of the meeting a copy of a statement of not more than 500 words with respect to the matters to be dealt with at the meeting; and where a meeting is so called no business shall be conducted at the meeting other than that stated in the notice calling it or (where applicable) that mentioned in sub-paragraph (8)(b) below. Where a copy of a statement is required to be sent to a member under sub-paragraph (1)(b)— the requirement to send it shall also be treated as satisfied if the conditions set out in sub-paragraph (1B) are satisfied. The requirements of this sub-paragraph are satisfied in the case of a statement if— the society and that member have agreed that information which is required to be sent to him may instead be accessed by him on a web site; no later than one working day after the statement is first capable of being accessed on a web site that person is notified ... of— the address of that web site, a copy of the statement is published continuously on that web site throughout the period beginning (so far as practicable) at the same time as copies of the statement are sent to members in accordance with sub-paragraph (1)(b), and ending with the conclusion of the meeting. A members’ requisition is a requisition of not less than the requisite number of members of the society; and that number is 500 or such lesser number as may be specified in the rules of the society. The requisition— must state the objects of the meeting, be signed by the requisitionists and be deposited at the society’s principal office; and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists and each after the first deposited within three months of the date on which the first was deposited. Where the requisition consists of several documents, the date of its deposit shall be taken to be the date on which the document signed by the requisitionist making up the requisite number is deposited at the society’s principal office. The rules of the society may require a requisitionist— to state his full name and address; to fulfil one or other of the following conditions, namely— to have been a shareholding member for a specified period and to hold, or to have held at any time during that period, shares in the society to such value (not greater than the prescribed amount) as is specified in the rules; and to have been a borrowing member for a specified period and to owe to the society, or to have owed to the society at any time during that period, a mortgage debt of such amount (not greater than the prescribed amount) as is so specified; and to identify a share or mortgage account with the society which will evidence the fact that he fulfils one or other of those conditions; and in this sub-paragraph “specified period” means such period (not more than two years) before the date of the requisition as is specified in the rules. No objection may be made by virtue of such rules to the requisition or, where the requisition consists of several documents, to any of those documents unless it is made within 14 days of the requisition or document being deposited at the society’s principal office. The rules of the society may also require a sum of money, not exceeding £50 per requisitionist, to be deposited with the requisition; and, where any money is so deposited, it shall be forfeited to the society, or returned to the persons who deposited it, as provided by the rules. The rules shall not provide for any deposited money to be forfeited to the society except— where a quorum is not present within half an hour after the time appointed for the meeting; or where and to the extent that those eligible to vote at the meeting decide by ordinary resolution that the money should be applied to defray the whole or any part of the expenses of holding the meeting. If the rules of a building society so provide, sub-paragraph (1) above does not require the society— to call a special meeting if the only or main object of the meeting is to move a resolution in substantially the same terms as any resolution which has been defeated at a meeting or on a postal or electronic ballot during the period beginning with the third annual general meeting before the date on which the requisition is deposited at the society’s principal office; or to call a special meeting to be held during the period of four months beginning one month after the end of its financial year. Sub-paragraph (1)(b) above does not require the society to send copies of a statement to members entitled to receive notice of a meeting in any case where— publicity for the statement would be likely to diminish substantially the confidence in the society of investing members of the public; or the rights conferred by sub-paragraph (1)(b) above are being abused to seek needless publicity for defamatory matter or for frivolous or vexatious purposes; and that provision shall not be taken to confer any rights on members, or to impose any duties on a building society, in respect of a statement which does not relate directly to the affairs of the society. Where sub-paragraph (1)(b) above requires copies of a statement to be sent to members entitled to receive notice of a meeting, the proceedings at the meeting are not invalidated by— the accidental omission to send a copy of the statement to a member entitled to receive one, or the non-receipt of such a copy by such a member. Where, in a case in which sub-paragraph (1A)(b) is relied on for compliance with a requirement of sub-paragraph (1)(b)— a statement is published for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in subparagraph (1B)(d), but the failure shall not invalidate the proceedings at the meeting. The appropriate authority shall hear and determine any dispute arising under sub-paragraph (10)(a) above, whether on the application of the society or of any other person who claims to be aggrieved. The Treasury may, by order substitute— for the number specified in sub-paragraph (2) above; or for the sum specified in sub-paragraph (7) above, such other number or sum as appears to them to be appropriate; and an order under this subsection may make such supplementary, transitional and saving provision as appears to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient. The power to make an order under sub-paragraph (13) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. This paragraph applies where a members’ requisition is deposited at a building society’s principal office and the society is not relieved of the obligation to call a special meeting by paragraph 20A(9)(a) above. Subject to sub-paragraph (5) below, if the society does not within 28 days from the date of the deposit of the requisition duly call a meeting to be held within 63 days from that date— the requisitionists, or any proportion of them exceeding one half, may themselves call a meeting to be held within five months from that date; and no business shall be conducted at a meeting so called other than that stated in the notice calling it or (where applicable) that mentioned in paragraph 20A(8)(b) above. A meeting called under sub-paragraph (2) above by requisitionists shall be called in the same manner, as nearly as may be, as that in which meetings are to be called by the society. paragraph 20A(1)(b) above requires the society to send to each member entitled to receive notice of the meeting a copy of a statement of not more than 500 words with respect to the matters to be dealt with at the meeting; and subject to sub-paragraph (5) below, that requirement is not complied with within 28 days from the date of the deposit of the requisition, the requisitionists, or any proportion of them exceeding one half, may themselves send a copy of the statement to each such member. If the rules of the society make such provision as is mentioned in paragraph 20A(9)(b) above, any days falling within the period there mentioned shall be disregarded in determining any period for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) or (4)(b) above. Any reasonable expenses incurred by the requisitionists by reason of the failure of the society to call a meeting, or to comply with such a requirement as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) above, shall be repaid to the requisitionists by the society. Any sum so repaid shall be recoverable by the society from such of the directors of the society as were responsible for the failure (whether by the retention of fees or other remuneration in respect of services or otherwise). Any provision contained in the rules of a building society shall be void to the extent that it provides for the calling of a meeting of the society (other than an adjourned meeting) by less than 21 days’ notice expiring with the date of the meeting or, if earlier, the date specified by the society, under its rules, as the final date for the receipt of appointments of proxies to vote at the meeting. A meeting of a building society may be called by 21 days’ notice, unless the rules provide for longer notice of the meeting to be given. Where notice of a meeting is given in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) above, the notice shall be taken for the purposes of this Act or any other enactment to have been duly given according to the rules of the building society. Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Schedule, notice of a meeting of a building society shall be given to every member of the society who would be eligible to vote at the meeting if the meeting were held on the date of the notice. Notice of the meeting shall, subject to those provisions, be given also to every person— who becomes a shareholding or borrowing member of the society after the date of the notice under sub-paragraph (1) above and before the specified date; or who, being such a member at the date of that notice, attains the age of 18 after that date and on or before the date of the meeting, and who would (in either case) be eligible to vote at the meeting if he remained such a member until the date of the meeting. In sub-paragraph (2) above “the specified date” means the date specified by the society as the final date for the receipt of appointments of proxies to vote at the meeting. Accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to, or non-receipt of notice of a meeting by, any person entitled to receive notice of the meeting does not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting. Where a notice of a meeting of a society is required to be sent to a person under any provision of this Act, the notice may be sent to him electronically only if it is sent to an electronic address notified by him to the society for the purpose. In a case in which this paragraph is relied on for compliance with a requirement to send a notice, a notice given in accordance with this paragraph is to be treated as given to a person on the day that the notice is transmitted. A requirement under any provision of this Act to send a notice of a meeting of the society to a person shall also be treated as satisfied if the conditions set out in sub-paragraph (2) are satisfied. The conditions of this sub-paragraph are satisfied in the case of a notice of a meeting of a society if— the society and the person have agreed that notices which are required to be sent to him may instead be accessed by him on a web site; the agreement applies to the notice in question that person is notified ... of— the publication of the notice on a web site, the place on that web site where the notice may be accessed, and how it may be accessed; and the notice is published continuously on that web site throughout the period beginning with the giving of that notification and ending with the conclusion of the meeting. A notification given for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(c) must— state that it concerns a notice of a meeting of the society served in accordance with this Act; specify the place, date and time of the meeting; and state whether the meeting is to be an annual or special general meeting. In a case in which this paragraph is relied on for compliance with a requirement to send a notice, a notice given in accordance with this paragraph is to be treated as given to a person on the day that person is notified in compliance with sub-paragraphs (2)(c) and (3). Where, in a case in which this paragraph is relied on for compliance with a requirement to send a notice of a meeting— a notice is published for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(d), but the failure shall not invalidate the proceedings of the meeting. A member of a building society is entitled to vote— on an ordinary resolution or a special resolution if he was, at the end of the last financial year before the voting date, and is, on that date, a shareholding or borrowing member of the society; on a shareholding members’ resolution, if he was, at the end of that year, and is, on that date, a shareholding member of the society; and on a borrowing members’ resolution if he was, at the end of that year, and is, on that date, a borrowing member of the society, but subject, in either case, to paragraphs 5(3), 7(4) and 8(4) above and sub-paragraph (5A) below and, in the case of paragraphs (a) and (b), to sub-paragraph (3) below. Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, any provision in the rules of a building society is void to the extent that it would have the effect of restricting the rights conferred on members by sub-paragraph (1) above. If the rules of the society so provide, a shareholding member is not entitled to vote on an ordinary resolution or a special resolution as such a member, or to vote on a shareholding members’ resolution— if he did not have a qualifying shareholding at the qualifying shareholding date; or if he ceased to hold shares at some time between that date and the voting date. Where a building society’s rules make such provision as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(a) above, a shareholding member shall be taken to have had a qualifying shareholding at the qualifying shareholding date if he had such a holding— at the end of the last financial year before the voting date, except where paragraph (b) below applies; or in a case where the voting date falls during that part of a financial year which follows the conclusion of the annual general meeting commenced in that year, at the beginning of the period of 56 days immediately preceding the voting date for members voting in person at a meeting or, as the case may be, on a postal or electronic ballot. For the purposes of this paragraph a member of a building society has a “qualifying shareholding” at any time if at that time he holds shares in the society to a value not less than the prescribed amount or such lesser amount as may be specified in the rules. If the rules of the society so provide, a member who is also an employee of the building society shall not be entitled to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting rights that the member may have with respect to a relevant resolution. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (5A), a relevant resolution is a resolution to approve an increase in the maximum ratio between the fixed and variable components of remuneration as permitted by— rule 15.10 of the Remuneration Part of the Rulebook made by the Prudential Regulation Authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, or rule 19D.3.49 of the Senior Management Arrangements, Systems and Controls sourcebook made by the Financial Conduct Authority under that Act, where the member referred to would be directly affected by the increase. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (5B), references to rules made by the Prudential Regulation Authority or the Financial Conduct Authority are to those rules as they have effect on IP completion day. In this paragraph “voting date”, with reference to any resolution, means— the date of the meeting at which the resolution is intended to be moved, except where paragraph (b) or (c) below applies; where voting on the resolution is to be conducted by postal ballot or by electronic ballot in the case of which not all the voting is electronic (within the meaning of paragraph 33A of Schedule 2), the date which the society specifies as the final date for the receipt of completed ballot papers; in the case of an election conducted by electronic ballot in which all the voting is electronic voting (within the meaning of that paragraph), the date which the society specifies as the final date for registering votes; in the case of a member appointing a proxy to vote instead of him at a meeting, the date which the society specifies as the final date for the receipt of appointments of proxies to vote on that resolution. A member of a building society who is entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the society— may appoint another person (whether a member of the society or not) as his proxy, to attend and, subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, to vote at the meeting instead of him, and may direct the proxy how to vote at the meeting. A form for the appointment of a proxy— may be sent electronically to a member if it is sent to an electronic address notified by that member to the society for the purpose; is to be treated as having been sent electronically to a member, where the conditions in sub-paragraph (1B) below are satisfied. The conditions are that— the society and the member have agreed that a form may instead be accessed by the member on a website; ... the member is notified of— the publication of the form on a website; the address of that website; and the place on that website where the form may be accessed, and how it may be accessed; and the form is published on the website throughout the period beginning with the day on which the member is notified in accordance with paragraph (b) above and ending with the last day specified for the return of appointments of proxies. If the form is absent from the website for part of the period referred to in sub-paragraph (1B)(c), the absence is to be disregarded if it is wholly attributable to circumstances that it would not be reasonable to have expected the society to prevent or avoid. Where a form for the appointment of a proxy is made available by a society on a website in accordance with subsection (1A)(b), the society may also make available on the website a facility for completing the form and returning the appointment in an electronic communication (but see paragraph 34). Where the society, under its rules, specifies a final date for the receipt of appointments of proxies to vote at a meeting, a person appointed a proxy by a member who at that date is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may act as his proxy at the meeting whether or not the member ceases to be so entitled after that date. A proxy is entitled to vote on a poll but, subject to any provision in the rules of the building society, not otherwise. In every notice calling a meeting of a building society there shall appear with reasonable prominence a statement— that a member entitled to attend and vote may appoint a proxy (or, where it is allowed, one or more proxies) to attend and vote at the meeting instead of him; that the proxy need not be a member of the society; and that the member may direct the proxy how to vote at the meeting. Every form for the appointment of a proxy sent by a building society to persons entitled to notice of a meeting of the society must contain provision enabling that person to direct the proxy how to vote at the meeting. If default is made in complying with sub-paragraph (4) above in respect of a meeting of a building society, or in complying with sub-paragraph (4A) above in respect of a form of appointment of a proxy, the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale, and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. Any provision contained in the rules of a building society shall be void in so far as it would have the effect of requiring the appointment of a proxy, or any document necessary to show the validity of, or otherwise relating to, the appointment of a proxy, to be received by the society or any other person more than seven days before a meeting or adjourned meeting in order that the appointment may be effective at the meeting or adjourned meeting. Any provision contained in the rules of a building society shall be void in so far as it would have the effect either— of excluding the right to demand a poll at a meeting of the society on any question other than the election of a chairman of the meeting or the adjournment of the meeting, or of making ineffective a demand for a poll on any such question which is made by not less than ten members having the right to vote at the meeting. Any appointment of a proxy to vote at a meeting of a building society shall be taken also to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll; and for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above a demand by a person as proxy of a member shall be the same as the demand by the member. No resolution of a building society shall be passed as a special resolution, or as a shareholding members’ resolution, unless it is required to be so passed by or under any provision of this Act or by the rules of the society. A resolution of a building society shall be a special resolution when it has been passed by not less than three-quarters of the number of the members of the society qualified to vote on a special resolution and voting either— in person or by proxy on a poll on the resolution at a meeting of the society of which notice specifying the intention to move the resolution as a special resolution has been duly given; or in a postal or electronic ballot on the resolution of which notice specifying that the resolution will not be effective unless it is passed as a special resolution has been duly given. In any rules made by a building society on or after 1st October 1960, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, “special resolution”, unless the context otherwise requires, means a special resolution as defined in this paragraph. A resolution of a building society shall be a shareholding members’ resolution when it has been passed by not less than three-quarters of the number of the shareholding members of the society— qualified to vote on a shareholding members’ resolution; and voting in person or by proxy on a poll on the resolution at a meeting of the society of which notice specifying the intention to move the resolution as a shareholding members’ resolution has been duly given. No resolution of a building society shall be passed as a borrowing members’ resolution unless it is required to be so passed by or under any provision of this Act or by the rules of the society. A resolution of a building society shall be a borrowing members’ resolution when it has been passed by a majority of the borrowing members of the society voting in person or by proxy on a poll on the resolution at a meeting of the society of which notice specifying the intention to move the resolution as a borrowing members’ resolution has been duly given. For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule, an individual who is indebted to a building society in respect of a loan fully secured on land is not a borrowing member of the society at any time if at that time the amount of his mortgage debt is less than the prescribed amount. Where a borrowing member’s resolution approving a transfer of engagements by a building society is moved, only those borrowing members whose mortgages are to be transferred shall be entitled to vote on the resolution. In any rules made by a building society after the commencement of this paragraph, “borrowing members’ resolution”, unless the context otherwise requires, means a borrowing members’ resolution as defined in this paragraph. The transfer resolutions required for the purposes of section 97 for the approval by members of a building society of a transfer of its business are two resolutions, of which— one is passed as a borrowing members’ resolution, and the other (“the requisite shareholders’ resolution”) is passed in accordance with sub-paragraphs (2) to (5) below. In a case where the successor is to be a specially formed company, the requisite shareholders’ resolution— must be passed as a shareholding members’ resolution, and must be passed on a poll on which not less than 50 per cent. of the members of the society qualified to vote on a shareholding members’ resolution voted; and the notice of the resolution required by paragraph 27A above must specify that the resolution will not be effective unless both of the requirements specified in this sub-paragraph are fulfilled.

Subject to any direction under sub-paragraph (5) below, in a case where the successor is to be an existing company, the requisite shareholders’ resolution must be passed as a shareholding members’ resolution and either— must be passed by not less than 50 per cent. of the members qualified to vote on a shareholding members’ resolution, or must be passed by the holders, being members qualified to vote on a shareholding members’ resolution, of shares in the society to a value, on the voting date, representing not less than 90 per cent. of the total value of the shares held on that date by the members so qualified to vote; and, in either case, the resolution must be a resolution in relation to which the notice required by paragraph 27A above includes a statement specifying that the resolution will not be effective unless either of the above requirements is fulfilled has been duly given. If the appropriate authority considers it expedient, in relation to a transfer of the business of a building society to an existing company, to do so for the purpose of protecting the investments of the shareholders of or depositors with the society, the it may give a direction under sub-paragraph (5) below. If the appropriate authority is the PRA, it must consult the FCA before giving a direction under sub-paragraph (5). A direction under this sub-paragraph is a direction that, for the purposes of the transfer of business specified in the direction, the requisite shareholders’ resolution is to be effective if it is passed as a shareholding members’ resolution. The Treasury . . . may by order amend sub-paragraph (2)(b), (3)(a) or (3)(b) above so as to substitute for the percentage for the time being specified in the subparagraph such other percentage as they think appropriate. The power to make orders under sub-paragraph (6) above is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. In this paragraph “voting date”, with reference to a requisite shareholders’ resolution, has the same meaning as in paragraph 23(6) above. If at least the requisite number of qualified members of a building society give notice to the society of their intention to have moved on their behalf a resolution, other than a shareholding members’ resolution or a borrowing members’ resolution, specified in the notice at an annual general meeting of the society, it shall be the duty of the society, subject to sub-paragraphs (4), (5) and (6) below— to include in the notice of the annual general meeting a notice specifying the intention to have the resolution moved on their behalf at the meeting and, where applicable, the intention to move it as a special resolution; at the request of the members intending to have the resolution moved on their behalf, to send to each member entitled to receive notice of the meeting a copy of any statement of not more than 500 words with respect to the matter referred to in the resolution. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above— “the requisite number”— in the case of a society in relation to which the difference between the total assets of the society as shown in the accounts last prepared by it under section 72A or 72E immediately before the date on which the members gave notice to the society under sub-paragraph (1) above and the aggregate of— the liquid assets of the society as shown in those accounts in pursuance of regulations under section 72C or 72G or in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards, as appropriate; and the fixed assets of the society as so shown, exceeds £100 million, is five hundred or such lesser number as is specified for the purpose in the rules of the society, and in the case of any other society is one hundred or such lesser number as is specified for the purpose in the rules of the society; every member of a building society is a “qualified member” unless the rules make other provision for the purpose which is not rendered void under sub-paragraph (3) below. Any provision contained in the rules of a building society shall be void to the extent that it would have the effect of requiring a qualified member, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above,— to have been a member for more than two years ending with the qualifying date; or if he claims eligibility as a shareholding member, to hold, or to have held at any time, shares in the society to a value greater than the prescribed amount in force on the qualifying date; or if he claims eligibility as a borrowing member, to owe to the society, or to have owed to the society at any time, a mortgage debt of an amount greater than the prescribed amount in force on the qualifying date; and for the purposes of this sub-paragraph the qualifying date is the date on which the notice is given to the society under sub-paragraph (1) above. Sub-paragraph (1) above does not require a building society to send notices of a resolution or copies of a statement to members of the society in any case where— publicity for the resolution or, as the case may be, the statement would be likely to diminish substantially the confidence in the society of investing members of the public; or the rights conferred by sub-paragraph (1) are being abused to seek needless publicity for defamatory matter or for frivolous or vexatious purposes; and that sub-paragraph shall not be taken to confer any rights on members, or to impose any duties on a building society, in respect of a resolution or statement which does not relate directly to the affairs of the society. If the rules of a building society so provide, sub-paragraph (1) above does not require notice of a resolution to be given to members of the society if the resolution is in substantially the same terms as any resolution which has been defeated at a meeting or on a postal or electronic ballot during the period beginning with the third annual general meeting before the date on which notice of the resolution is given to the society. No copies of a statement with respect to a resolution shall be sent to members of a building society if, on any of the grounds in sub-paragraph (4) or (5) above, the society does not give the notice of the resolution to them required by sub-paragraph (1)(a) above. The PRA shall hear and determine any dispute arising under sub-paragraph (4)(a) above, whether on the application of the building society or of any other person who claims to be aggrieved. If a building society fails to comply with the requirements of sub-paragraph (1) above where notice is duly given under that sub-paragraph, the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. For the purposes of this paragraph “liquid assets” and “fixed assets”, in the case of societies which produce IAS individual accounts or IAS group accounts, have the same meaning as given in section 6(16). Notice of a resolution given under paragraph 31(1) above must be given to the building society not later than the last day of the financial year preceding the financial year in which is held the annual general meeting at which it is intended to move the resolution; and any statement to be sent to members under paragraph 31 (1)(b) above must also be notified to the society not later than that day. The notices of a resolution and the copies of a statement required to be sent to members by paragraph 31(1)(a) or (b) above shall be sent to them in the same manner and (so far as practicable) at the same time as the notice of the annual general meeting at which the resolution is intended to be moved; and, where it is not practicable for them to be sent at the same time as the notice, they shall be sent as soon as practicable thereafter. Sub-paragraph (2B) applies where, in a case in which a society gives notice in accordance with paragraph 22A or 22B of this Schedule of the annual general meeting at which a resolution is intended to be moved, the notice of the resolution and the copy of a statement in respect of the resolution that are required to be sent to a member under paragraph 3 1 (1)(a) or (b) are not transmitted or published at the same time as the notice. The requirement of sub-paragraph (2) to send a member his notice of the resolution and his copy of a statement in the same manner as the notice of the annual general meeting is satisfied if— a notice of the resolution and a copy of the statement are made available to the member in the same way as the notice; or such a notice and such a copy (without being made available to the member in that way) are sent to the member in a manner set out by the society for the purpose in the notice. Where a notice of a resolution and copy of a statement are sent to a member electronically under sub-paragraph (2B), they must be sent to an electronic address notified by the member for the purpose. The requirements of sub-paragraph (2) or (2B)(a) are satisfied by the publication of a notice of the resolution and a copy of the statement on a web site only if— the notice of the annual general meeting at which the resolution is intended to be moved is a notice given to that member by being published on a web site; an agreement between the society and the member to his accessing information on a web site applies to the notice of a resolution and copy of a statement for the meeting in question; the publication of the notice of a resolution and copy of a statement on a web site, the place on that web site where the notice and copy may be accessed, and how they may be accessed; the notification for the purposes of paragraph (c) is given no later than the day after the date on which the notice of a resolution and the copy of a statement are first capable of being accessed on the notified web site; that date was the same as the date on which the notice of the annual general meeting was first capable of being accessed on a web site or (in a case to which sub-paragraph (2B)(a) applies) was as soon as practicable after that date; the notice of a resolution and copy of a statement are continuously published on the notified web site for a period beginning (so far as practicable) at the same time as the notices and statements are sent to members in accordance with sub-paragraph (2), and ending with the conclusion of the annual general meeting at which the resolution is moved. Where notices of a resolution, or copies of a statement in respect of a resolution, intended to be moved at a meeting of a building society are required to be sent to any persons, the proceedings at the meeting are not invalidated by— the accidental omission to send a notice or copy to a person entitled to receive one, or the non-receipt of a notice or copy by such a person. Where, in a case in which sub-paragraph (2D) is relied on for compliance with a requirement of sub-paragraph (2) or (2B)(a)— a notice or copy is published for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in subparagraph (2D)(f), but The Treasury may by order vary— the definition of “requisite number” or “qualified member” in sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 31 above, or the descriptions of provisions which are rendered void by sub-paragraph (3) of that paragraph. whether by the addition of any description or other provision or by the substitution or deletion of any definition, description or other provision for the time being specified or contained in that paragraph. An order under sub-paragraph (4) above shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursu" ance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. An order under sub-paragraph (4) above may contain transitional, consequential or supplementary provision. The rules of a building society may provide for the voting in an election of directors or on any resolution of the society (other than a shareholding members’ resolution or a borrowing members’ resolution) to be conducted in all, or in any particular, circumstances by postal ballot; ... Rules made pursuant to sub-paragraph (1) may also make provision in relation to the use of electronic communications in the conduct of a postal ballot. Where, under the rules of a society, a postal ballot is to take place, the following provisions of this paragraph have effect. Notice of a postal ballot shall be given not less than 21 nor more than 56 days before the date which the society specifies as the final date for the receipt of completed ballot papers (referred to in this paragraph as “the voting day”). Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Schedule, notice of a postal ballot shall be given to every member of the society who would be entitled to vote in the election or on the resolution if the voting date for the election or the resolution fell on the date of the notice. Notice of the postal ballot shall, subject to those provisions, be given also to every person— who becomes a shareholding or borrowing member of the society after the date of the notice under sub-paragraph (4) above and before the voting day; or who, being such a member at the date of that notice, attains the age of 18 after that date and on or before the voting day, and who would (in either case) be eligible to vote in the election or on the resolution if he remained such a member until that day. Where a notice of a postal ballot is required to be given to a person by sub-paragraph (4) or (5), the notice may be sent to him electronically only if it is sent to an electronic address notified by the person to the society for the purpose. In a case in which notice of a postal ballot is sent electronically to an electronic address in accordance with sub-paragraph (5A), the notice is to be treated as given to a person on the day on which it is transmitted. A requirement of sub-paragraph (4) or (5) to send a notice of a postal ballot shall also be treated as satisfied if— the notice is published continuously on that web site throughout the period beginning with the giving of that notification and ending with the voting date (within the meaning of section 60(17)). In a case in which sub-paragraph (5B) is relied on for compliance with a requirement of sub-paragraph (4) or (5), a notice of a postal ballot is to be treated as sent to a person on the day when notification is given in accordance with sub-paragraph (5C)(d). Where, in a case in which sub-paragraph (5C) is relied on for compliance with a requirement of sub-paragraph (4) or (5)— a notice of a postal ballot is published for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in sub-paragraph (5C)(d), but the failure shall not invalidate the postal ballot. Notice of a postal ballot— shall contain such other notices relating to the election or resolution (“related notices”), and shall be accompanied by such other documents (“accompanying documents”), as would be required to be given or sent to a member in connection with notice of a meeting, had it been intended to hold the election or vote on the resolution at a meeting instead of by postal ballot with the exception, however, of any notice relating to voting by proxy at a meeting. Where the notice of a postal ballot is required by sub-paragraph (6) to contain a related notice or to be accompanied by an accompanying document— in a case where the notice of that ballot is given to a person electronically in accordance with sub-paragraph (5A), the related notice or accompanying document may be sent to him electronically only if it is sent to the same electronic address, and at the same time as the notice of the postal ballot; in a case where notice of that ballot is given on a web site in accordance with subparagraph (5C), the requirement to send the related notice or accompanying document to that person shall also be treated as satisfied if the conditions set out in sub-paragraph (6B) are satisfied. The conditions of this sub-paragraph are satisfied in the case of a related notice or accompanying document if— the agreement applies to the related notice or accompanying document in question; at the same time and in the same manner as the society notifies that person of the publication of the notice of the postal ballot, it notifies him of— the publication of the related notice or accompanying document on a web site, the place on that web site where that statement or notification may be accessed, and how it may be accessed; and the related notice or accompanying document is published continuously on that web site throughout the period beginning with the giving of that notification in accordance with paragraph (c) and ending with the voting date (within the meaning of section 60(17)). Where notice of a postal ballot and any related notice or accompanying document is sent to a person electronically, that person may return the completed voting paper to the society either— by post; or electronically by sending it to an electronic address notified by the society to that person for the purpose, unless the rules of the society make provision to the contrary. Accidental omission— to give notice of a postal ballot, or to send any document required by sub-paragraph (6) above to accompany such a notice, to any person entitled to receive it, or non-receipt of such a notice or document by such a person, does not invalidate the postal ballot. Where, in a case in which sub-paragraph (6A)(b) is relied on for compliance with a requirement of sub-paragraph (6)— a related notice or accompanying document is published for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in sub-paragraph (6B)(d), but the rules of a building society provide for a postal ballot to be conducted in any circumstances in the case of an election or resolution, and those rules do not expressly prohibit the conduct of an electronic ballot in those circumstances, the ballot in the case of that election or resolution may, in those circumstances, be an electronic ballot instead of a postal ballot. A ballot in the case of an election or resolution is an electronic ballot if it is conducted— in accordance with the following provisions of this paragraph as to electronic voting; and in so far as it is not conducted with those provisions, as if it were a postal ballot. But voting in the case of an election or resolution may not be conducted by an electronic ballot in which all the voting is electronic voting in accordance with sub-paragraphs (8) to (10) unless the rules of the society expressly permit it. The rules of a building society may provide for voting in the case of— an election of directors, or a resolution of the society other than a share holding members' resolution or a borrowing members' resolution, to be conducted by an electronic ballot in which all the voting is electronic voting in accordance with sub-paragraphs (8) to (10). Where voting may be conducted by electronic ballot by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) the rules of the society may contain provision supplementing rules relating to postal ballots in so far as it is necessary to provide for the conduct of electronic voting in accordance with subparagraphs (8) to (10). Where voting may be conducted by electronic ballot by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) or (3) the rules of the society may make provision as to the consequences of any irregularities occurring in the course of a ballot, including (but not restricted to) provision as to the validity of multiple votes cast by a member in the same election or on the same resolution. In the case of an electronic ballot, the society is not required to send notice of the ballot to any person if— that person has agreed, in accordance with sub-paragraph (9)(a) below, that notices of electronic ballots and a voting facility may be accessed by him on a web site; and the society notifies that person in accordance with sub-paragraph (9)(c) below. The voting of a person in an electronic ballot is electronic if— a person has access on a web site to the notice of the electronic ballot, any document which is required to accompany the notice and a facility for registering his vote; that person registers his vote by means of that facility; and the conditions set out in sub-paragraph (9) are satisfied. The conditions of this sub-paragraph are satisfied if— the society and the person have agreed that notices of electronic ballots, any document which is required to accompany the notice, and a voting facility may be accessed by him on a web site; that agreement applies to the electronic ballot and accompanying documents in question; that person is notified ... of— the publication of the notice and documents and the availability of the voting facility on a web site, the place on that web site where the notice, any such documents, and the facility may be accessed, and how they may be accessed; and the notice and each such document continues to be published and the facility continues to be available on that web site throughout the period beginning with the giving of that notification and ending with the date which the society specifies as the final date for the registration of votes. A notice given for the purposes of sub-paragraph (9)(c) must— state that it concerns a notice of an electronic ballot given in accordance with this Act; and state whether the voting to be conducted by the electronic ballot is in an election or on a resolution or both. Nothing in sub-paragraph (9) shall invalidate an electronic ballot where— any notice or document that is required to be published, and any facility which is required to be made available, for the period mentioned in sub-paragraph (6)(d) is published or made available for a part, but not all, of that period, but the failure to publish that notice or document, or make that facility available, throughout that period is wholly attributable to circumstances which it would not be reasonable to have expected the society to prevent or avoid. Sub-paragraphs (3) to (7) of paragraph 33 apply, with the modification specified in subparagraph (13) below, in relation to notices of an electronic ballot as they apply in relation to notices of a postal ballot. Sub-paragraph (3) of paragraph 33 has effect as if the reference to the receipt of completed ballot papers included a reference to the registration of votes by means of a voting facility on a web site. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) of paragraph 33 (as applied to electronic ballots by sub-paragraph (13) above), in a case in which a person is notified for the purposes of subparagraph (9)(c), a notice of an electronic ballot is treated as given to a person on the day when notification is given in accordance with that sub-paragraph. If a member of a building society who purports to exercise his right— to appoint a proxy to vote instead of him at a meeting of the society, or to vote in a postal or electronic ballot, or to vote on a poll at a meeting of the society, fails to make a declaration in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) below in the ... appointment or, as the case may be, on the voting paper, the appointment made or, as the case may be, the vote cast by him is invalid. A person making a declaration in pursuance of sub-paragraph (1) above shall— declare that he has attained the age of 18 years or will have attained that age on or before the voting date or, where he is voting by proxy, on or before the date of the meeting; where the vote is to be cast on a shareholding members’ resolution, declare— that on the voting date he is or, so far as he can reasonably foresee, will be a shareholder of the society; and where the person is not entitled to vote unless he had a qualifying shareholding on the qualifying shareholding date, that he had or, so far as he can reasonably foresee, will have such a shareholding on that date; where the vote is to be cast on a borrowing members’ resolution, declare that on the voting date he is or, so far as he can reasonably foresee, will be a borrowing member of the society; and where the vote is to be cast on an ordinary or special resolution, declare either as mentioned in paragraph (b) above, or as mentioned in paragraph (c) above, or both. Where an appointment of a proxy is returned in an electronic communication in accordance with paragraph 24(1D), the requirements of sub-paragraph (2) above are satisfied only if— the appointment incorporates the terms of the declaration required by that subparagraph; and the authenticity and integrity of the appointment is established (whether by an electronic signature or otherwise) in such manner as may have been agreed between the member and the society. Where a member voting in a postal ballot returns a completed voting paper electronically as mentioned in sub-paragraph (6E)(b) of paragraph 33 above, the requirements of sub-paragraph (2) above are satisfied only if— the voting paper incorporates the terms of the declaration required by that subparagraph; and the authenticity and integrity of the completed paper is established (whether by electronic signature or otherwise) in such manner as may have been agreed between the member and the society. Where a member registers a vote on a web site in accordance with sub-paragraph (8)(b) of paragraph 33A above, the requirements of sub-paragraph (2) above are satisfied only if— at the place on the web site where the voting facility is accessed, the member has confirmed the terms of the declaration specified by that sub-paragraph; and the authenticity and integrity of the member’s vote is established (whether by electronic signature or otherwise) in such a manner as may have been agreed between the member and the society. A building society shall secure that every document issued by it for use as a voting paper and every appointment of a proxy incorporates a form of declaration under this paragraph for completion by the member using it. A building society shall ensure that— every voting paper sent by it to a member by means of an electronic communication incorporates a declaration in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) above, and every voting facility provided by it on a web site is accompanied by such a declaration, for completion or confirmation by the member purporting to exercise his right to vote. If a building society fails to comply with the requirements of sub-paragraph (3) above, the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale and so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. In this paragraph— “authenticity” and “integrity”, with reference to an electronic communication, must be construed in accordance with section 15(2) of the Electronic Communications Act 2000; “electronic signature” has the same meaning as in section 7(2) of that Act; “qualifying shareholding” shall be construed in accordance with paragraph 23(5) above; “qualifying shareholding date” has the same meaning as it has for the purposes of paragraph 23 above; and “voting date” has the meaning given by paragraph 23(6) above. Nothing in this Part of this Schedule is to be taken to preclude the holding and conducting of a meeting of a building society in such a way that persons who are not present together at the same place may by electronic means attend, speak and vote at it. The use of electronic means for the purpose of enabling participation in such a meeting may be made subject only to such requirements and restrictions as are— necessary to ensure the identification of those attending and the security of the electronic communication, and proportionate to the achievement of those objectives. The advertising requirements referred to in paragraph 14 above, in relation to notices of meetings or postal or electronic ballots of building societies, are as follows. Notice of the holding of the meeting or of the postal ballot must be given either— by displaying a notice in a prominent position in every branch office, or by advertisement in one or more newspapers circulating in the areas in which the members of the society reside, according as the rules of the society provide. The notice must be given not later than 21 days before the date of the proposed meeting or, as the case may be, the final date for the receipt of completed ballot papers or for the registration of votes in an electronic ballot (as the case may be). The notice shall state where members may obtain copies of the resolutions and any statements with respect to the matter referred to in a resolution, forms relating to voting by proxy and, in the case of a postal ballot, the ballot papers, or, in the case of an electronic ballot, how members may access electronic voting facilities. For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule, the “prescribed amount” is £100 or such other amount as the Treasury by order specify for the time being. The power to make an order under sub-paragraph (1) above shall be exercisable by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. An order under sub-paragraph (1) above may contain transitional, consequential or supplementary provision. When all money intended to be secured by a mortgage given to a building society has been fully paid or discharged, the society may endorse on or annex to the mortgage one or other of the following— a receipt in the prescribed form signed by any person acting under the authority of the board of directors; a reconveyance of the mortgaged property to the mortgagor; a reconveyance of the mortgaged property to such person of full age, and on such trusts (if any), as the mortgagor may direct. Where in pursuance of sub-paragraph (1) above a receipt is endorsed on or annexed to a mortgage, not being a charge or incumbrance registered under the Land Registration Act 1925 registered charge (within the meaning of the Land Registration Act 2002), the receipt shall operate in accordance with section 115(1), (3), (6) and (8) of the Law of Property Act 1925 (discharge of mortgages by receipt) in the like manner as a receipt which fulfils all the requirements of subsection (1) of that section. Section 115(9) of the Law of Property Act 1925 shall not apply to a receipt in the prescribed form endorsed or annexed by a building society in pursuance of sub-paragraph (1) above; and in the application of that subsection to a receipt so endorsed or annexed which is not in that form, the receipt shall be taken to be executed in the manner required by the statute relating to the society if it is signed as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) above. The foregoing sub-paragraphs shall, in the case of a mortgage of registered land, have effect without prejudice to the operation of the Land Registration Act 1925 or any rules in force under it. “mortgage” includes a further charge; “the mortgagor”, in relation to a mortgage, means the person for the time being entitled to the equity of redemption; and “registered land” has the same meaning as in the Land Registration Act 1925. This paragraph does not extend to Scotland. In its application to Northern Ireland, paragraph 1 above shall have effect with the following modifications. In sub-paragraph (1) after the words “on such trusts” there shall be inserted the words “ or uses ”. In sub-paragraph (2)— for the words from “charge” to “Property Act 1925” there shall be substituted the words “ charge on registered land, the receipt shall operate in accordance with Article 3(1), (7) and (9) of the Property (Discharge of Mortgage by Receipt) (Northern Ireland) Order 1983 ”; and for the words “subsection (1) of that section” there shall be substituted the words “ paragraph (1) of that Article ”. For sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) there shall be substituted the following sub-paragraphs— If the mortgage is registered in accordance with the Registration of Deeds Act (Northern Ireland) 1970, the registrar under that Act shall— on production of the receipt mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above make a note in the Abstract Book against the entry relating to the mortgage that the mortgage is satisfied; and grant a certificate, either on the mortgage or separately, that the mortgage is satisfied. The certificate granted under sub-paragraph (3)(b) above shall— be received in all courts and proceedings without further proof; and have the effect of clearing the register of the mortgage. In sub-paragraph (5) for the definition of “registered land” there shall be substituted the following definition— “registered land” means land the title to which is registered under Part III of the Land Registration Act (Northern Ireland) 1970. The Treasury may make rules for prescribing anything authorised or required by paragraph 1 above to be prescribed; and in this Schedule “prescribed” means prescribed by rules made under this paragraph. The power to make rules under this paragraph shall be exercisable by statutory instrument. In this Schedule— “authorisation” means authorisation under section 9 or on renewal under section 41 or reauthorisation under section 44; “conditions” means conditions to be complied with by a building society and imposed on the grant of authorisation under section 9, on the renewal of authorisation under section 41, on reauthorisation under section 44 or under section 42; “revocation", with reference to authorisation, means revocation under section 43. An application for authorisation— shall be made in such manner as the Commission may specify, either generally or in any particular case; and shall be accompanied by such information as the Commission may reasonably require, either generally or in any particular case, in order to decide whether or not to grant authorisation and whether with or without conditions. If required to do so by notice from the Commission given at any time after an application for authorisation has been made and before a decision has been reached on the application, the applicant shall furnish to the Commission such additional information as it may reasonably require in order to reach a decision on the application. If on an application for authorisation the Commission proposes to impose conditions the provisions of Part III of this Schedule shall apply. If the Commission proposes to refuse to grant authorisation it shall serve a notice on the applicant stating— that it proposes to refuse to grant authorisation; the grounds for the proposed refusal; and that the applicant may make representations with respect to the proposed refusal within such period of not less than 28 days as may be specified in the notice and that, if the applicant so requests, the Commission will afford to it an opportunity of being heard by the Commission within that period. If the grounds for the proposed refusal include the ground that any officer of the society is not a fit and proper person to hold office in the society the Commission shall also serve the notice specified in sub-paragraph (4) above on the officer concerned giving him the like right to make representations and to be heard with respect to his fitness and propriety for office. The Commission shall, before reaching a decision on the application, consider any representations made to it in accordance with sub-paragraph (4) or (5) above. If, on an application for authorisation, the Commission refuses to grant authorisation it shall serve on the society and, subject to paragraph 10 below, on every director of and the chief executive of the society, and every other person on whom a notice was served under sub-paragraph (5) above, a notice stating the Commission’s decision and the grounds for it and, subject to sub-paragraph (8) below, shall do so before the expiry of the period of 6 months beginning with the date on which the application was received. In any case where, under sub-paragraph (2) above, the Commission requires additional information with respect to an application, the latest time for the giving of a notice under sub-paragraph (7) above with respect to the application shall be the expiry of whichever of the following periods first expires, namely— the period of 6 months beginning with the date on which the additional information is furnished to the Commission; and the period of 12 months beginning with the date on which the application was received by the Commission. In the application of this paragraph to an application for the renewal of authorisation under section 41— sub-paragraph (7) shall have effect with the substitution of 3 for 6 months; and sub-paragraph (8) shall have effect with the substitution of 3 for 6 months and of 6 for 12 months respectively. Any building society which furnishes any information or makes any statement which is false or misleading in a material particular in connection with an application for authorisation shall be liable, on conviction on indictment or on summary conviction, to a fine which, on summary conviction, shall not exceed the statutory maximum. Any person who knowingly or recklessly furnishes any information or makes any statement which is false or misleading in a material particular in connection with an application for authorisation shall be liable— If the Commission proposes to impose conditions it shall serve on the society and, subject to paragraph 10 below, on every director of the society and its chief executive a notice stating— that the Commission proposes to impose conditions; what the conditions will be; the grounds for their imposition; and that the society may make representations with respect to the proposed imposition of the conditions within such period of not less than 14 days as may be specified in the notice and that, if the society so requests, the Commission will afford to it an opportunity of being heard by the Commission within that period.

The Commission may not impose conditions on grounds other than those stated, or grounds included in those stated, in the notice served by it under sub-paragraph (1) above. This paragraph applies where the Commission has decided to impose conditions but proposes to impose conditions different from and more onerous than those stated in the notice served by the Commission under paragraph 4(1) above. The Commission shall serve on the society and, subject to paragraph 10 below, on every director of the society and its chief executive, a notice stating— what conditions the Commission proposes to impose; the grounds for the imposition of those conditions instead of the conditions stated in the notice under paragraph 4(1) above; and that the society may make representations with respect to the conditions the Commission proposes to impose within such period of not less than seven days as may be specified in the notice and that, if the society so requests, the Commission will afford to it an opportunity of being heard by the Commission within that period. If any condition proposed to be imposed on the society includes a requirement for the removal from office of any officer of the society the Commission shall also serve the notice specified in sub-paragraph (2) above on the officer whose removal is proposed giving him the like right to make representations and to be heard with respect to his proposed removal from office.

If the Commission decides to impose conditions the notice under sub-paragraph (4) above shall— state the grounds for their imposition. The Commission may not impose conditions on grounds other than those stated, or grounds included in those stated, in the notice served by it under sub-paragraph (2) above. If the Commission proposes to revoke a society’s authorisation it shall serve on the society and, subject to paragraph 10 below, on every director and its chief executive a notice stating— that the Commission proposes to revoke the authorisation the grounds for the proposed revocation; and that the society may make representations with respect to the proposed revocation within such period of not less than 14 days as may be specified in the notice and that, if the society so requests, it will be afforded an opportunity of being heard by the Commission within that period. If the grounds for the proposed revocation include the ground that any officer of the society is not a fit and proper person to hold office in the society the Commission shall also serve the notice specified in sub-paragraph (1) above on the officer concerned giving him the like right to make representations and to be heard with respect to his fitness and propriety for office. The Commission shall, before reaching a decision on whether to revoke the authorisation, consider any representations made to it in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) or (2) above and, except where paragraph 7 below applies the Commission shall serve on the society and, subject to paragraph 10 below, on every director of and the chief executive of the society and every other person on whom a notice was served under sub-paragraph (2) above, a notice stating its decision. If the Commission decides to revoke a society’s authorisation, the notice under sub-paragraph (3) above shall state the grounds for the decision. The Commission may not revoke a society’s authorisation on grounds other than those stated, or grounds included in those stated, in the notice served under sub-paragraph (1) above. This paragraph applies where the Commission proposes, instead of revoking a society’s authorisation, to impose conditions. The Commission shall serve on the society and, subject to paragraph 10 below, on every director of the society and its chief executive a notice stating— that it proposes to impose conditions instead of revoking the society’s authorisation; what conditions it proposes to impose; the grounds for the imposition of conditions instead of revoking the society’s authorisation; and that the society may make representations with respect to the conditions the Commission proposes to impose within such period of not less than seven days as may be specified in the notice and that, if the society so requests, it will be afforded an opportunity of being heard by the Commission within that period. If any condition proposed to be imposed on the society includes a requirement for the removal from office of any officer of the society, the Commission shall also serve the notice specified in sub-paragraph (2) above on the officer whose removal is proposed giving him a like right to make representations and to be heard with respect to his proposed removal from office. The Commission shall, before reaching a decision on whether to impose conditions and, if so, what conditions, consider any representations made in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) or (3) above and, except where paragraph 8 below applies, the Commission shall serve on the society and, subject to paragraph 10 below, on every director of and the chief executive of the society and every other person on whom a notice was served under sub-paragraph (3) above, a notice stating its decision. The Commission may not impose conditions on grounds other than those stated, or grounds included in those stated, in the notice served by the Commission under sub-paragraph (2) above. This paragraph applies where the Commission has decided, instead of revoking a society’s authorisation, to impose conditions but proposes to impose conditions different from and more onerous than those stated in the notice served by the Commission under paragraph 7(2) above. the grounds for the imposition of those conditions instead of the conditions stated in the notice under paragraph 7(2) above; and The Commission shall, before reaching a decision on whether to impose conditions different from those stated in the notice served under paragraph 7(2) above and, if so, what conditions, consider any representations made in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) or (3) above and shall serve on the society and, subject to paragraph 10 below, on every director of and the chief executive of the society and every other person on whom a notice was served under sub-paragraph (3) above, a notice stating its decision. The modifications of the provisions of Part III of this Schedule in their application to the imposition of conditions by the Commission in pursuance of a direction of an appeal tribunal under section 47(6) or (7) are as follows. The notice under paragraph 4(1) shall be served on the society and the other persons there specified within the period of 14 days beginning with the date on which the Commission received notice of the tribunal’s decision under subsection (10) of that section; and a copy shall also be sent within that period to the tribunal. The notice under paragraph 4(1) may specify, as the period within which representations may be made, a period of not less than 7 days. If the Commission serves a notice under paragraph 5(2) on the society and the other persons there specified it shall send a copy of the notice to the tribunal. Where any provision of this Schedule requires notice of any matter to be served on every director of a building society that requirement is satisfied by serving notice on each director whose appointment has been officially notified and the non-receipt of a notice of a matter by a director or the chief executive does not affect the validity of any action on the part of the Commission. Where any land has been mortgaged to a building society as security for an advance and a person sells the land in the exercise of a power (whether statutory or express) exercisable by virtue of the mortgage, it shall be his duty— in exercising that power, to take reasonable care to ensure that the price at which the land is sold is the best price that can reasonably be obtained, and within 28 days from the completion of the sale, to send to the mortgagor at his last-known address by the recorded delivery service a notice containing the prescribed particulars of the sale. Sub-paragraph (1)(b) above shall not apply where the person selling the land has reasonable cause to believe that communications sent to the mortgagor at his last-known address are unlikely to be received by him. In so far as any agreement relieves, or may have the effect of relieving, a building society or any other person from the obligation imposed by sub-paragraph (1)(a) above, the agreement shall be void. Breach by a building society or any other person of the duty imposed by sub-paragraph (1)(b) above, if without reasonable excuse, shall be an offence.

Any person guilty of an offence under sub-paragraph (3) above shall be liable on summary conviction— to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale and to an additional fine for each week during which the offence continues not exceeding £10, and, in relation to such an offence on the part of a building society, so shall any officer who is also guilty of the offence. Nothing in this section shall affect the operation of any rule of law relating to the duty of a mortgagee to account to his mortgagor. In sub-paragraph (1) above “mortgagor”, in relation to a mortgage in favour of a building society, includes any person to whom, to the knowledge of the person selling the land, any of the rights or liabilities of the mortgagor under the mortgage have passed, whether by operation of law or otherwise. a receipt in the prescribed form under the society’s seal, countersigned by any person acting under the authority of the board of directors; Where in pursuance of sub-paragraph (1) above a receipt is endorsed on or annexed to a mortgage, not being a charge or incumberance registered under the Land Registration Act 1925, the receipt shall operate in accordance with section 115(1), (3), (6) and (8) of the Law of Property Act 1925 (discharge of mortgages by receipt) in the like manner as a receipt which fulfills all the requirements of subsection (1) of that section. Section 115(9) of the Law of Property Act 1925 shall not apply to a receipt in the prescribed form endorsed or annexed by a building society in pursuance of sub-paragraph (1) above; and in the application of that subsection to a receipt so endorsed or annexed which is not in that form, the receipt shall be taken to be executed in the manner required by the statute relating to the society if it is under the society’s seal and countersigned as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) above. (5) In this paragraph— This paragraph does not apply to Scotland. In the application of this paragraph to Northern Ireland— in sub-paragraph (1) for the words “on such trusts" there shall be subsituted the words “on such uses"; in sub-paragraph (2)— for the words from “charge" to “Property Act 1925" there shall be substituted the words “on registered land, the receipt to operate (N.I.9). in accordance with Article 3(1), (7) and (9) of the Property (Discharge of Mortgage by Receipt) (Northern Ireland) Order 1983"; and for the words “subsection (1) of that section" there shall be subsituted the words “paragraph (1) of that Article"; for sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) there shall be substituted— If the mortgage is registered in accordance with the Registration of Deeds Act (Northern Ireland) 1970, the registrar under that act shall— be received in all courts and proceedings without further proof; and in sub-paragraph (5) for the definition of “registered land" there shall be substituted the following definition— “registered land” means land the title to which is registered under Part III of the Land Registration Act (Northern Ireland) 1970; The Chief Registrar may make rules for prescribing anything authorised or required by any provision of this Schedule to be prescribed; and in this Schedule “prescribed” means prescribed by rules made under this paragraph. The Board shall consist of seven members as follows, namely— the First Commissioner for the time being, who shall be the chairman of the Board, two members appointed by the First Commissioner from among the other members of the Commission, and four other members appointed under sub-paragraph (2) below; and the First Commissioner shall appoint one of his two appointees to be deputy chairman of the Board. The four members to be appointed under this sub-paragraph shall be appointed by the Treasury, after consultation with the First Commissioner, and of those four, three shall be persons who are or have been directors, chief executives or managers of building societies. Each appointed member of the Board may, with the approval of the First Commissioner and subject to sub-paragraph (4) below appoint an alternate member to perform his duties as a member in his absence. In the case of a person appointed a member of the Board as a present or former director, chief executive or manager of a building society any alternate shall himself be or have been such a director, chief executive or manager. Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph a person shall hold and vacate office as a member or as deputy chairman of the Board in" accordance with the terms of the instrument appointing him. A person appointed by the First Commissioner under paragraph 1(1)(b) above shall vacate his office as a member of the Board if he ceases to be a member of the Commission and the person appointed by the First Commissioner to be deputy chairman of the Board shall vacate his office as such in the same event. A person appointed under paragraph 1(2) above shall be appointed for a term not exceeding two years but he may be reappointed on his ceasing to hold office or at any time thereafter. A person appointed under paragraph 1(2) above may at any time resign his office as a member by giving to the Treasury a signed notice stating that he resigns from that office. The Board shall pay to each member such allowances in respect of expenses as the Board may, with the consent of the Treasury, determine. The Board shall determine its own procedure, including the quorum necessary for its meetings. The validity of any proceedings of the Board shall not be affected by any vacancy among the members or by any defect in the appointment of any member. The fixing of the common seal of the Board shall be authenticated by the signature of the chairman of the Board or some other person authorised by the Board to act for that purpose. A document purporting to be duly executed under the seal of the Board shall be received in evidence and deemed to be so executed, unless the contrary is proved. The Board may authorise— any member or members of the Board, any committee or sub-committee of the Board, or any officer, servant or agent of the Board, to perform on behalf of the Board such of the Board’s functions (including the power conferred by this paragraph) as are specified in the authorisation. The Board may determine its own financial year. It shall be the duty of the Board— to keep proper accounts and proper records in relation to the accounts; and to prepare in respect of any period (referred to in this paragraph as “the initial period”) beginning with the commencement date for section 24 and ending with the beginning of the Board’s first financial year and in respect of each of its financial years a statement of accounts showing the state of affairs and income and expenditure of the Board. A statement of accounts prepared in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(b) above shall be audited by auditors appointed by the Board and the auditors shall report to the Board stating whether in their opinion the provisions of sub-paragraph (2) above have been complied with. A person shall not be appointed as auditor by the Board unless he is eligible for appointment as a company auditor under section 25 of the Companies Act 1989. It shall be the duty of the Board, as soon as possible after the end of the initial period and of each of its financial years, to prepare a report on the discharge of its functions during that period or, as the case may be, during that financial year. It shall be the duty of the Board to publish, in such manner as it thinks appropriate, every statement of account prepared in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(b) above and every report prepared in accordance with sub-paragraph (5) above. The following provisions of this Schedule have effect for the purposes of section 27. In this Schedule “investment”, in relation to a building society, means the rights of a person arising from a deposit made by him, or a predecessor in title of his, with the society or the interest of a person constituted by a share of his in the society; and that person is referred to as holding, or as the holder of, the investment. Where any persons hold an investment in a building society as trustees then, unless the investment is held on trust for a person absolutely entitled to it as against the trustees, the trustees shall be treated as a single and continuing body of persons, distinct from the persons who may from time to time be the trustees and if the same persons hold different investments as trustees under different trusts, they shall be treated as a separate and distinct body with respect to each of those trusts. For the purpose of this Schedule an investment is held on trust for a person absolutely entitled to it as against the trustees where that person has the exclusive right, subject only to satisfying any outstanding charge, lien or other right of the trustees to resort to the investment for payment of duty, taxes, costs or other outgoings, to direct how the investment shall be dealt with. Any reference in sub-paragraph (1) or (2) above to a person absolutely entitled to an investment as against the trustees includes a reference to two or more persons who are so entitled jointly; and in the application of sub-paragraph (2) to Scotland the words from “subject" to “outgoings” are omitted. Where an investment is held on trust for any person absolutely entitled to it, or as the case may be, for two or more persons so entitled jointly, that person or, as the case may be, those persons jointly shall be treated as entitled to the investment without the intervention of any trust. Except in the case of a partnership, where two or more persons are jointly entitled to an investment and paragraph 2(1) above does not apply, each of them shall be treated as having a separate investment of an amount produced by dividing the amount of the investment to which they are jointly entitled by the number of persons who are so entitled. Where two or more persons hold, or are absolutely entitled to, an investment as partners, the partnership shall be treated as holding, or as being absolutely entitled to, the investment as a single person distinct from the persons of whom the partnership is composed. Where an investment is made by a person whose business is the provision of professional services or the carrying on of investment business (within the meaning of the Financial Services Act 1986) with money held to the account of clients of his, each of them shall be treated as having a separate investment of an amount equal to so much of the amount of the investment as represents money held to his account as a client. The Board may decline to make any payment under section 27 in respect of an investment until the person claiming to be entitled to it informs the Board of the capacity in which he is entitled to the investment; and if it appears to the Board— that the persons entitled to an investment are so entitled as trustees, or that paragraph 3 above applies to an investment, or that two or more persons are jointly entitled to an investment other than as trustees, or that paragraph 5 above applies to an investment, the Board may decline to make any payment in respect of the investment until sufficient information has been disclosed to it to enable it to determine what payment (if any) should be made under that section and to whom. In this Schedule “jointly entitled” means— in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, beneficially entitled as joint tenants, tenants in common or as coparceners, and in Scotland, beneficially entitled as joint owners or owners in common. In the application of this Schedule in relation to investments in an office of a building society in another EEA State, references to persons entitled in any of the following capacities, namely— as trustees; as partners; or as persons jointly entitled other than as trustees, shall be construed as references to persons entitled under the law of that State in a capacity appearing to the Board to correspond as nearly as may be to that capacity. The provisions of this paragraph have effect where a member of, or depositor with, a building society dies, testate or intestate, domiciled in any part of the United Kingdom leaving a sum of money in the funds of the society not exceeding £5000. If a person claiming to be beneficially entitled to the sum of money under the will or the applicable law of intestacy furnishes to the society— satisfactory evidence of the death, and a statutory declaration that the member or depositor has died and that the person claiming the amount is beneficially entitled under the will or the applicable law of intestacy to receive it, the society may, without probate of the will or the grant of letters of administration or confirmation, as the case may be, pay the sum of money to that person. Where a building society has paid a sum of money to any person in reliance on evidence of death and a statutory declaration furnished as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) above, the payment shall be valid and effectual with respect to any demand against the funds of the society from any other person claiming to be entitled to it but without prejudice to that other person’s pursuing his remedy for the amount against the person who received it.

Amounts paid or receivable under a pension scheme need not be included in the aggregate amount if – the funding of the scheme was such that the amounts were or, as the case may be, could have been paid without recourse to additional contributions; and amounts were paid to or receivable by all pensioner members of the scheme on the same basis, and in this sub-paragraph “pensioner member”, in relation to a pension scheme, means any person who is entitled to the present payment of retirement benefits under the scheme. references to retirement benefits include benefits otherwise than in cash; and in relation to so much of retirement benefits as consists of a benefit otherwise than in cash, references to their amount are to the estimated money value of the benefit, and the nature of any such benefit must also be disclosed.

But where– any sums are not shown in a note to the accounts for the relevant financial year on the ground that the person receiving them is liable to account for them as mentioned in paragraph 6(2), but the liability is thereafter wholly or partly released or is not enforced within a period of 2 years; or any sums paid by way of expenses allowance are charged to United Kingdom income tax after the end of the relevant financial year, those sums must, to the extent to which the liability is released or not enforced or they are charged as mentioned (as the case may be), be shown in a note to the first accounts in which it is practicable to show them and must be distinguished from the amounts to be shown apart from this provision. Where the chief executive of the society is not also a director of the society, he is deemed, for the purposes of paragraphs 1 to 7, to be a director of the society. In such circumstances there must be a note in the accounts specifying that the chief executive has been so deemed to be a director.

For the purposes of this paragraph— “acting as an insolvency practitioner” shall be construed in accordance with section 388 of the Insolvency Act 1986 or Article 3 of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989; “director” includes any person occupying the position of director, by whatever name called; “partner” includes a member of a limited liability partnership; “partnership” includes a limited liability partnership and a partnership constituted under the law of a country or a territory outside the United Kingdom; a reference to “a receiver, or a receiver or manager, of the property of a society or other body corporate” includes a receiver, or (as the case may be) a receiver or manager, of part only of that property; a person able, directly or indirectly to control or materially to influence the operating and financial policy of another person shall be treated as having control of that other person; and a body corporate is in the same group as another body corporate if one is a subsidiary of the other. “associate of the society” means— any subsidiary of the society, other than a subsidiary in respect of which severe long-term restrictions substantially hinder the exercise of rights of the society over the assets or management of that subsidiary, or any associated pension scheme; “associated pension scheme”, in relation to a building society, means a scheme for the provision of benefits for or in respect of directors or employees (or former directors or employees) of the society or any subsidiary of the society where— the benefits consist of or include any pension, lump sum, gratuity or other like benefit given or to be given on retirement or on death or in anticipation of retirement or, in connection with past service, after retirement or death, and either— a majority of the trustees are appointed by, or by a person acting on behalf of the society or a subsidiary of the society, or the society, or a subsidiary of the society, exercises a dominant influence over the appointment of the auditor (if any) of the scheme; “remuneration” includes payments in respect of expenses and benefits in kind; “subsidiary” means a subsidiary undertaking that is a body corporate. The first auditor of a building society may be appointed by the directors at any time before the first general meeting of the building society following the end of the society’s first financial year and an auditor so appointed shall hold office until the conclusion of that meeting. If the directors fail to exercise their powers under sub-paragraph (1) above those powers may be exercised by the building society in general meeting. The directors, or the building society in general meeting, may fill any casual vacancy in the office of auditor; but while any such vacancy continues, the surviving or continuing auditor or auditors (if any) may act. If at any annual general meeting of a building society no auditor is appointed or re-appointed, the appropriate authority may appoint a person to fill the vacancy; and the society shall, within one week of the power of the appropriate authority becoming exercisable, give notice to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, to the PRA of that fact. If a building society fails to give the notice required by sub-paragraph (1) above the society shall be liable on summary conviction— in the case of a continuing offence, to an additional fine not exceeding £40 for every day during which the offence continuesX; This paragraph applies to the appointment of an auditor or auditors under section 77, where the building society has an audit committee. Before an appointment to which this paragraph applies is made— the audit committee of the building society must make a recommendation to the directors in connection with the appointment, and the directors must propose an auditor or auditors for appointment ... Before the audit committee makes a recommendation or the directors make a proposal under sub-paragraph (2), the committee... must carry out a selection procedure in accordance with Article 16(3) of the Audit Regulation. The audit committee must in its recommendation— identify its first and second choice candidates for appointment, drawn from those auditors who have participated in a selection procedure under sub-paragraph (3), give reasons for the choices so identified, state that— the recommendation is free from influence by a third party, and no contractual term of the kind mentioned in Article 16(6) of the Audit Regulation has been imposed on the building society. The directors must include in their proposal— the recommendation made by the audit committee in connection with the appointment, and if the proposal of the directors departs from the preference of the audit committee— a recommendation for a candidate or candidates for appointment drawn from those auditors who have participated in a selection procedure under sub-paragraph (3), and the reasons for not following the audit committee’s recommendation. Where the audit committee recommends re-appointment of the society’s existing auditor or auditors, and the directors are in agreement, sub-paragraphs (3) and (4)(a) and (b) do not apply. This paragraph applies to the appointment of an auditor or auditors under section 77, where the building society does not have an audit committee. Before an appointment to which this paragraph applies is made the directors must propose an auditor or auditors for appointment. Before the directors make a proposal under sub-paragraph (2), they must carry out a selection procedure in accordance with Article 16(3) of the Audit Regulation , from which their proposed auditor or auditors must be drawn . Sub-paragraph (3) does not apply in relation to a proposal to re-appoint the society’s existing auditor or auditors. A person who has been, or will have been, auditor of a building society in respect of every financial year comprised in the maximum engagement period may not be appointed as auditor of the society in respect of any financial year which begins within the period of 4 years beginning with the day after the last day of the last financial year of the maximum engagement period. A person who is a member of the same network as the auditor mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) may not be appointed as auditor of the society in respect of any financial year which begins within the period of 4 years mentioned in that sub-paragraph. In this paragraph “network” means an association of persons, other than a firm, co-operating in audit work by way of— profit-sharing; cost-sharing; common ownership, control or management; common quality control policies and procedures; common business strategy; or use of a common name. a building society appoints, or purports to appoint, an auditor or auditors, and the appointment or purported appointment is made in breach of paragraph 3B, 3C or 3D (requirements applying to appointment of auditors), the appropriate authority may appoint another auditor or auditors in place of the auditor or auditors referred to in paragraph (a).

The breach of paragraph 3B, 3C or 3D does not invalidate any report made under this Part by the auditor or auditors on the building society’s annual reports or accounts before the auditor or auditors are replaced under sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph. But where the breach in question is a breach of paragraph 3D, sections 1248 and 1249 of the Companies Act 2006 (Secretary of State’s power to require second audit for companies) apply as if— the building society were a company; references to the Secretary of State were to the appropriate audit authority; references to the registrar of companies were to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, to the PRA; the auditor was not an appropriate person, or the auditors were not appropriate persons, for the period during which the audit was conducted; section 1248(9) was omitted. Within one week of becoming aware of the breach of paragraph 3B, 3C or 3D, the building society must give notice to the appropriate authority that the power under sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph has become exercisable. If the building society fails to give the notice required by sub-paragraph (4), the society shall be liable on summary conviction— in the case of a continuing offence, to an additional fine not exceeding £40 for every day during which the offence continues; Where a person is auditor of a building society in respect of consecutive financial years, the maximum engagement period of the person as auditor of the society— begins with the first of those years (see the appropriate entry in the first column of the following Table), and ends with the financial year specified in the corresponding entry in the second column of the Table: A financial year of the society beginning before 17 June 1994 A financial year of the society beginning— (a) on or after 17 June 1994, and (b) before 17 June 2003 (a) on or after 17 June 2003, and (b) before 17 June 2016 No qualifying selection procedure Where neither the first financial year of the maximum engagement period nor any subsequent financial year is one in respect of which the auditor has been appointed following the carrying out of a qualifying selection procedure, the later of- (a) the last financial year of the society to begin before 17 June 2016, and (b) the last financial year of the society to begin within the period of 10 years beginning with the first day of the first financial year of the maximum engagement period. No qualifying selection procedure within 10 years Where the last day of the last financial year of the society to begin within the period of 10 years beginning with the first day of the last financial year of the society in respect of which the auditor was appointed following a qualifying selection procedure is before 17 June 2016— (a) the last financial year of the society to begin before 17 June 2016, unless (b) the auditor is appointed following a qualifying selection procedure for the first financial year of the society to begin on or after 17 June 2016, in which case it is the last financial year of the society to begin within the period of 20 years beginning with the first day of the first financial year of the maximum engagement period. Qualifying selection procedure within 10 years In any other case, the earlier of- (a) the last financial year of the society to begin within the period of 10 years beginning with the first day of the last financial year of the society in respect of which the auditor was appointed following a qualifying selection procedure, and (b) the last financial year of the society to begin within the period of 20 years beginning with the first day of the first financial year of the maximum engagement period. The earlier of— Where the first financial year of the maximum engagement period begins on or after 17 June 2003, the maximum engagement period may be extended by a period of no more than 2 years with the approval of the competent authority. Such approval may be given by the competent authority only if it is satisfied that exceptional circumstances exist. Where the competent authority gives its approval as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)— the second column of the Table in sub-paragraph (1) has effect with the necessary modifications, and the first appointment to be made after the end of the period as so extended must be made following a qualifying selection procedure. In this paragraph “qualifying selection procedure” means— in the case of an appointment in respect of a financial year beginning on or after 17 June 2016 made after the Statutory Auditors and Third Country Auditors Regulations 2017 come into force— if the society has an audit committee, a selection procedure that complies with the requirements of paragraph 3B(3) and (4)(a) and (b), and if the society does not have an audit committee, a selection procedure that complies with the requirements of Article 16(3) of the Audit Regulation; in any other case, a selection procedure that substantially meets the requirements of Article 16(2) to (5) of the Audit Regulation as it had effect immediately before IP completion day, having regard to the circumstances at the time (including whether the society had an audit committee). A resolution at a general meeting of a building society— appointing as auditor a person other than a retiring auditor; or filling a casual vacancy in the office of auditor; or reappointing as auditor a retiring auditor who was appointed by the directors to fill a casual vacancy; or removing an auditor before the expiration of his term of office, shall not be effective unless notice of the intention to move it has been given to the society not less than twenty-eight days before the meeting at which it is moved. A building society shall give to its members notice of any such resolution at the same time and in the same manner as it gives notice of the meeting, or, if that is not practicable, shall give them notice of the resolution, not less than twenty-one days before the meeting, either by advertisement in a newspaper having an appropriate circulation or in any other way allowed by the rules of the society. On receipt of notice of such an intended resolution as is mentioned above the society shall forthwith send a copy of it— to the person proposed to be appointed or removed, as the cae may be; in a case within sub-paragraph (1)(a), to the retiring auditor; and where, in a case within sub-paragraph (1)(b) or (c), the casual vacancy was caused by the resignation of an auditor, to the auditor who resigned. Where notice is given of such a resolution as is mentioned in sub-paragraphs (1)(a) or (d) and the retiring auditor, or (as the case may be) the auditor proposed to be removed, makes with respect to the intended resolution representations, in writing to the society (not exceeding a reasonable length) and requests their notification to the members, the society shall (unless the representations are received by it too late to do so)— in any notice of the resolution given to members, state the fact of the representations having been made, and send a copy of the representations to every member to whom notice of the meeting is or has been sent. if a copy of such representations is not sent out as required by sub-paragraph (4) above because it was received too late or because of the society’s default, the auditor may (without prejudice to his right to be heard orally) require that the representations shall be read out at the meeting. The building society or any person claiming to be aggrieved may, within fourteen days of the receipt by the society of any representations made to it under sub-paragraph (4) above, apply in accordance with sub-paragraph (7) or (8) below to— the High Court, or the appropriate authority , for an order that copies of the representations need not or, as the case may be, shall not be sent out nor the representations read out at the meeting. An application under this sub-paragraph is an application to the High Court on the ground that the auditor is abusing the rights conferred by sub-paragraph (4) above to secure needless publicity for defamatory matter, and if the court is satisfied that the auditor is so abusing those rights it may by order direct that copies of the representations need not be sent out nor the representations read out at the meeting; and the court may further order the society’s costs on the application to be paid in whole or in part by the auditor notwithstanding that he is not a party to the application. An application under this sub-paragraph is an application to the appropriate authority on the ground that the sending out of copies of or the reading out at the meeting of the representations would be likely to diminish substantially the confidence in the society of investing members of the public and if the appropriate authority is satisfied that the sending out of copies of the representations or the reading of them would have that effect it shall by order direct that copies of the representations shall not be sent out nor the representations read at the meeting. The building society shall— if the High Court makes an order under sub-paragraph (7) above or the appropriate authority makes an order under sub-paragraph (8) above, send within fourteen days of the decision a statement setting out the effect of the order to the persons mentioned in sub-paragraph (4)(b) above; and if not, either send a copy of the written representations made under sub-paragraph (4) above to those persons or cause the representations to be read out at the meeting. Sub-paragraphs (9B) and (9C) apply where— a copy of representations is required to be sent under sub-paragraph (4)(b) or (9)(b); or a statement is required to be sent under sub-paragraph (9)(a). Where a copy of representations or a statement is required to be sent to a member— the requirement to send it shall also be treated as satisfied if the conditions set out in sub-paragraph (9C) are satisfied. The conditions of this sub-paragraph are satisfied in the case of a copy of representations or a statement if— the agreement applies to the representations or statement in question; the member is notified... of— the publication of the copy of the representations or the statement on a web site, the place on that web site where the representations or statement may be accessed, and how it may be accessed, and where the notification concerns the publication of a statement required to be sent by sub-paragraph (9)(a), the member is notified within the period specified in that paragraph; and the copy of the representations or the statement is published continuously on that web site throughout the period beginning with the date on which notification is given in accordance with paragraph (c) and ending with the conclusion of the meeting. If default is made in complying with sub-paragraph (4) or (9) above the building society shall be liable— on conviction on indictment to a fine; or on summary confiction to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a fine not exceeding one tenth of the statutory maximum one-tenth of the greater of £5,000 or the amount corresponding to level 4 on the standard scale for summary offences for every day during which the offence continues; Where, in a case in which sub-paragraph (9A)(b) is relied on for compliance with a requirement of sub-paragraph (4) or (9)— a copy of representations or a statement is published on a web site for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in sub-paragraph (9C)(d), but no offence is committed under sub-paragraph (10) by reason of that failure. A building society may by resolution in general meeting remove an auditor before the expiration of his term of office, notwithstanding anything in any agreement between it and him. Where a resolution removing an auditor is passed at a general meeting of a building society, the society shall within 14 days give notice of that fact to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA . If a building society fails to give the notice required by s ub-paragraph (2) above the society shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale and, in the case of a continuing offence, to an additional fine not exceeding £40 for every day during which the offence continues and so shall every officer who is also guilty of the offence. Nothing in this paragraph is to be taken as depriving a person removed under it of compensation or damages that may be payable to him in respect of the termination of his appointment as auditor. An auditor may not be removed from office before the expiration of that auditor's term of office except— by resolution under this paragraph, or in accordance with paragraph 6ZA. The competent authority may apply to the High Court for an order removing an auditor of a building society from office if the authority considers that there are proper grounds for removing the auditor from office. The members of a building society may apply to the High Court for an order removing an auditor of the building society from office if the applicant or applicants consider that there are proper grounds for removing the auditor from office. If the court is satisfied, on hearing an application under sub-paragraph (1), that there are proper grounds for removing the auditor from office, it may make an order removing the auditor from office. If the court is satisfied, on hearing an application under sub-paragraph (2), that— the applicants represent in total— not less than 5% of the voting rights of all the members having a right to vote at a general meeting of the building society, or not less than 5% in nominal value of the amount standing to the credit of shares in a building society as shown by the latest balance sheet, and there are proper grounds for removing the auditor from office, the court may make an order removing the auditor from office. For the purposes of this paragraph, divergence of opinions on accounting treatments or audit procedures are not to be taken to be proper grounds for removing an auditor from office. Where an auditor of a building society is removed from office , other than by order of the High Court made under paragraph 6ZA, an application may be made to the High Court under this paragraph. The persons who may make such an application are— any member of the society who was also a member at the time of the removal; the FCA; and if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA. If the court is satisfied that the removal was— on grounds of divergence of opinion on accounting treatments or audit procedures, or on any other improper grounds, it may make such order as it thinks fit for giving relief in respect of the removal. The court may, in particular— declare that any resolution of the society removing an auditor, or appointing a new auditor in his place, is void; require the directors of the society to re-appoint the auditor until the next general meeting of the society; give directions as to the conduct of the society’s affairs in the future. An auditor of a building society may resign his office by depositing a notice to that effect at the principal office of the society; and any such notice operates to bring his term of office to an end on the date on which the notice is deposited, or on such later date as may be specified in it. An auditor’s notice of resignation shall not be effective unless it contains either— a statement to the effect that there are no circumstances connected with his resignation which he considers should be brought to the notice of the members of, or depositors with, the society, or a statement of any such circumstances as are mentioned above. Where a notice under this paragraph is deposited at the principal office of a building society it shall within fourteen days send a copy of that notice— to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA , and if the notice contains a statement under sub-paragraph (2)(b) above, to every person who under section 76(8) is entitled to receive a copy of the summary financial statement. The building society or any person claiming to be aggrieved may, within fourteen days of the receipt by the society of a notice containing a statement under sub-paragraph (2)(b), apply in accordance with sub-paragraph (5) or (6) below to— the High Court; or for an order that copies of the notice need not or, as the case may be, shall not be sent out. An application under this sub-paragraph is an application to the High Court on the ground that the auditor is using the notice to secure needless publicity for defamatory matter, and if the court is satisfied that the auditor is using the notice for that purpose it may by order direct that copies of it need not be sent out; and the court may further order the society’s costs on the application to be paid in whole or in part by the auditor, notwithstanding that he is not a party to the application. An application under this sub-paragraph is an application to the appropriate authority on the ground that the sending out of the notice would be likely to diminish substantially the confidence in the society of investing members of the public; and if the appropriate authority is satisfied that the sending out of the notice would be likely to have that effect it shall by order direct that copies of it shall not be sent out. The building society shall, within fourteen days of the decision of the High Court or of the appropriate authority , send to the persons mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)— if the court makes an order under sub-paragraph (5) above or the appropriate authority makes an order under sub-paragraph (6), a statement setting out the effect of the order; and if not, a copy of the notice containing the statement under sub-paragraph (2)(b). Sub-paragraphs (7B) and (7C) apply where— the reference to a notice containing a statement under sub-paragraph (2)(b) is required to be sent to a person under sub-paragraph (3)(b) or sub-paragraph (7)(b); or a statement is required to be sent under sub-paragraph (7)(a). Where a notice or a statement is required to be sent to a person, the notice or statement may be sent to him electronically only if— in a case where a person mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(b) has notified the society of an electronic address for the purpose of this paragraph, it is sent to that address; or in a case where no electronic address has been notified for the purpose of this paragraph, it is sent to an electronic address notified by him for the purpose of subsection (8B) of section 76 (electronic address for the reception of summary financial statement for members and depositors). The requirement to send a notice or a statement shall also be treated as satisfied if— the society and a person mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(b) have agreed that information that is required to be sent to him may instead be accessed by him on a web site; the agreement applies to the notice or statement in question; the person is notified of— the publication of the notice or statement on a web site, the place on that web site where the notice or statement may be accessed, and how it may be accessed; and the notice or statement is published on the web site throughout a period of at least 14 days, beginning with the day on which the person is notified in accordance with paragraph (c). If default is made in complying with sub-paragraph (3) or sub-paragraph (7) the building society shall be liable— on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a fine not exceeding one tenth of the statutory maximum one-tenth of the greater of £5,000 or the amount corresponding to level 4 on the standard scale for summary offences for every day during which the offence continues; Where, in a case in which sub-paragraph (7C) is relied on for compliance with a requirement under sub-paragraph (3) or (7)— a notice or a statement is published for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in sub-paragraph (7C)(d), but no offence is committed under sub-paragraph (8) by reason of that failure. Where an auditor’s notice of resignation contains a statement under paragraph 7(2)(b) above he may also deposit at the principal office of the society a requisition signed by him calling on the directors of the society forthwith duly to convene a special general meeting of the society for the purpose of receiving and considering such explanation of the circumstances connected with this resignation as he may wish to place before the meeting. Where an auditor’s notice of resignation contains such a statement the auditor may request the society to send to its members— before the general meeting at which his term of office would otherwise expire or expires, as the case may be; or before any general meeting at which it is proposed to fill the vacancy caused by his resignation, a statement in writing (not exceeding a reasonable length) of the circumstances connected with his resignation. The society shall in that case (unless the statement is received by it too late for it to comply)— in any notice of the meeting given to members state the fact of the statement having been made, and send a copy of the statement to every member to whom notice of the meeting is or has been sent. Where a copy of a statement is required to be sent to a member under sub-paragraph (3)(b)— the requirement to send it shall also be treated as satisfied if the conditions set out in sub-paragraph (3B) are satisfied. The conditions of this sub-paragraph are satisfied in the case of a copy of a statement if— the society and the member have agreed that information which is required to be sent to him may instead be accessed by him on a web site; that member is notified ... of— the statement is published continuously on that web site throughout the period beginning with the giving of that notification and ending with the conclusion of the meeting. Where, in a case in which sub-paragraph (3A)(b) is relied on for compliance with a requirement under sub-paragraph (3)(b)— a statement is published for a part, but not all, of the period mentioned in subparagraph (3B)(d), but that failure shall not invalidate the proceedings of the meeting. If the directors of the society do not within 21 days from the date of the deposit of a requisition under this paragraph proceed duly to convene a meeting for a day not more than 28 days after the date on which the notice convening the meeting is given, every director who failed to take all reasonable steps to secure that a meeting was so convened shall be liable— If a copy of the statement mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) is not sent out as required by sub-paragraph (3) because it was received too late or because of the society’s default, the auditor may (without prejudice to his right to be heard orally) require that the statement be read out at the meeting. Copies of a statement need not be sent out and the statement need not be read out at the meeting if— on an application made to the High Court by the society or a person aggrieved, the court is satisfied that the rights conferred by this paragraph are being abused to secure needless publicity for defamatory matter; or on an application to the PRA by the society or a person aggrieved, the PRA is satisfied that the circulating or reading out of the statement would be likely to diminish substantially the confidence in the society of investing members of the public. If the High Court makes an order under sub-paragraph (6)(a) above it may also order the society’s costs of the application to be paid by the auditor notwithstanding that he is not a party to the application. An auditor who has resigned his office is entitled to attend any such meeting as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a) or (b) and to receive all notices of, and other communications relating to, any such meeting which any member of the society is entitled to receive, and to be heard at any such meeting which he attends on any part of the business of the meeting which concerns him as former auditor of the society. Where an auditor of a building society ceases for any reason to hold office, he must notify the appropriate audit authority. The notice must— inform the appropriate audit authority that he has ceased to hold office, and if the auditor resigns, be accompanied by a copy of the auditor’s notice of resignation. The notice required by this paragraph must also be accompanied by a statement of the reasons for his ceasing to hold office unless— the auditor resigns, and the notice of resignation contains a statement under paragraph 7(2)(b). The auditor must comply with this paragraph— if the auditor resigns, at the same time as he deposits his notice of resignation at the principal office of the building society; in any other case, not later than the end of the period of fourteen days beginning with the date on which he ceases to hold office. A person ceasing to hold office as auditor who fails to comply with this paragraph commits an offence. If that person is a firm an offence is committed by— the firm, and every officer of the firm who is in default. A person guilty of an offence under this paragraph is liable— on conviction on indictment, to a fine; Where an auditor ceases to hold office before the end of his term of office, the building society must notify the appropriate audit authority. inform the appropriate audit authority that the auditor has ceased to hold office, and be accompanied by— a statement by the society of the reasons for his ceasing to hold office, or if the auditor resigns, and his notice of resignation contains a statement under paragraph 7(2)(b), a copy of that statement. The society must give notice under this paragraph— if the auditor resigns, not later than the end of the period of fourteen days beginning with the date on which the auditor’s notice of resignation is deposited at the society’s principal office; in any other case, not later than the end of the period of fourteen days beginning with the date on which the auditor ceases to hold office. If a building society fails to comply with this paragraph, an offence is committed by— on conviction on indictment, to a fine, and “appropriate audit authority” means— the Secretary of State, or if the Secretary of State has delegated functions under section 1252 of the Companies Act 2006 to a body whose functions include receiving the equivalent notice under section 522 or 523 of that Act, that body; “audit committee” means a body which performs— the functions referred to in— rule 7.1.3 of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook made by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000; or rule 2.4 of the Audit Committee Part of the Rulebook made by the Prudential Regulation Authority under that Act; or equivalent functions; “Audit Regulation” means Regulation 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public interest entities and repealing Commission Decision 2005/989/EC; and “competent authority” means the Financial Reporting Council Limited .

For the purposes of this Schedule, a person is auditor of a building society in respect of a financial year if the auditor is required to report on the accounts of the society for that financial year. In the application of this Schedule to Scotland, references to the High Court shall be read as references to the Court of Session.

The grounds for making action by a building society or connected undertaking subject to investigation under the scheme must be that the action constitutes— in the case of a building society, a breach of the society’s obligations under this Act, its rules or any contract, or in the case of a connected undertaking, a breach of the undertaking’s obligations under its rules (if any) or any contract, or unfair treatment, or maladministration, or a decision to which sub-paragraph (2) below applies, or action consequential on such a decision, in relation to the complainant and has caused him pecuniary loss or expense or inconvenience. This sub-paragraph applies to any decision in connection with the provision of a relevant service which is made otherwise than in the legitimate exercise of commercial judgment. A scheme must not exclude action from investigation on any other than the following grounds, that is to say— that the complaint is frivolous or vexatious; that the action is the subject of proceedings in a court of law or was the subject of such proceedings in which a judgment on the merits was given; that the action is the subject of an investigation by another adjudicator (by whatever name called) operating under a comparable scheme (whether or not a recognised scheme), or was the subject of such an investigation in which a decision on the merits was made; that, where the society or connected undertaking has a procedure for the resolution of complaints by it (an “internal procedure"), the procedure has not been invoked or has not been exhausted; that there has been undue delay in having the matter investigated under the scheme , or in furnishing evidence in support of the complaint; or that the action in question occurred outside the United Kingdom. Note: An international procedure for resolution of complaints is not to be treated as having been invoked unless the complainant has made his complaint to the principal office of the society or, as the case may be, of the connected undertaking and is not to be treated as having been exhausted unless more than three months has elapsed since the complainant invoked it without any decision on his complaint having been communicated to him. Note: Delay in having a matter investigated under the scheme is not “undue delay" unless at least six months (disregarding the period for exhausting the society’s or connected undertaking’s internal procedure) has expired since the matter came to the knowledge of the complainant; and a person is not, for this purpose, to be presumed to have knowledge of the contents of a document which contains or relates to the terms or proposed terms of any transaction between him and the society. Note: Delay in furnishing evidence in support of the complaint is not “undue delay" unless at least six months have elapsed since the adjudicator acknowledged receipt of the complaint. A scheme must, as regards the duties and powers attached to the investigation of complaints under the scheme— impose on the adjudicator a duty, subject to the provision made in pursuance of sub-paragraph (c) below, to investigate and determine any complaint duly made; impose on the adjudicator a duty to afford the complainant and the society or connected undertaking an opportunity to make representations (whether orally or in writing) in relation to the action complained of; confer power on the adjudicator to advise, mediate or act as conciliator before proceeding further with an investigation; confer power on the adjudicator to extend the scope of his investigation to other matters related to the action complained of; and confer on an adjudicator such powers to require information and documents relevant to the matter to be furnished to him as are necessary for the purposes of the investigation. Subject to any provision made in pursuance of sub-paragraph (3) below, a scheme must authorise the adjudicator, in reaching his decision, to have regard to, but not to be bound by, any matter (whether or not of obligation) relevant to the action complained of and to question any decision. A scheme must impose on the adjudicator a duty, in reaching his decision, to have regard to— the rules (if any) of the society or connected undertaking; the provisions of any deed or contract binding the society and the complainant or, as the case may be, the connected undertaking and the complainant; the provisions of any code of conduct applicable to the conduct by the society or connected undertaking of its affairs or business; any advertisement issued by the society or connected undertaking in connection with any aspect of its activities and any communication with the complainant. Subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, a scheme may preclude the adjudicator, in his determination, from questioning the merits of any decision taken by the society or connected undertaking with reference to— the taking or conduct of legal proceedings to enforce any right of the society or connected undertaking; or the creditworthiness, for the purposes of any advance or other service or facility, of the complainant; but not otherwise. Where investigation of a complaint on the ground of maladministration involves consideration by the adjudicator of any decision taken with reference to the creditworthiness of the complainant the scheme must confer power on the adjudicator to direct the society or associated body to take its decision again and reach it by proper procedures. Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, a scheme must confer power on the adjudicator, by his determination, to do either or both of the following, that is to say— direct the society or connected undertaking whose action is complained of to take or desist from taking such steps as are specified in the determination; order the society or connected undertaking whose action is complained of to pay the complainant a sum by way of compensation for the loss, expense or inconvenience caused by the action. A scheme may impose a limit on the amount of compensation that a society or connected undertaking may be ordered to pay a complainant, but the limit must not be less than £100,000. Subject to any provision made in pursuance of sub-paragraph (2) or (3) below, a scheme must provide that, if the complainant, by notice to the adjudicator within the period specified in the scheme, accepts his determination the society or connected undertaking is under an obligation to take the steps it is directed to take or pay the compensation awarded or both. A scheme may relieve a society of the obligation imposed by a determination if, but only if, the society undertakes an obligation to give notice to its members of the reasons for its non-fulfilment of the obligations imposed by the determination in the next directors’ report under section 75 and to give notice of those reasons to the public in such manner as the adjudicator requires. A scheme may relieve a connected undertaking of the obligations imposed by a determination if, but only if, each of the building societies of which it is a connected undertaking undertakes an obligation to give notice to its members of the reasons for the non-fulfilment of the obligations imposed by the determination in the next directors’ report under section 75 and to give notice of those reasons to the public in such manner as the adjudicator requires. A scheme must impose on the adjudicator an obligation not to disclose, whether in his determination or otherwise, any information or opinion furnished in confidence to the society or, as the case may be, to the connected undertaking for the purpose of any action on its part. A scheme must require reports by the adjudicator as to the discharge of his functions to be made to the body administering the scheme not less frequently than once in every year. A scheme must permit the body administering the scheme to publish the whole or any parts of the reports made to them by the adjudicator. A scheme, if it makes the provision authorised by paragraph 6(2) or (3) above, must require the body administering the scheme to send to the Commission, not less frequently than once in every year, particulars of the cases in which building societies have undertaken the alternative obligation authorised by either or both of those sub-paragraphs. For the purposes of this Schedule, a scheme— “qualifies for recognition” if it makes provision for the matters specified in Part I of Schedule 12 and the services action in relation to which is subject to investigation under the scheme consist of or include one or more relevant services; and “conforms to the relevant requirements” if, in relation to a relevant service, it makes action in relation to that service subject to investigation in accordance with Part III of that Schedule; and any reference to a scheme qualifying for recognition, or being recognised, to any “extent" indicates recognition of it for the purpose of investigations of action in relation to one or more relevant services. The function of the Commission of granting recognition of schemes is exercisable, in accordance with paragraph 4 or 5 below, on the Commission’s own motion or on a submission for its approval made by or on behalf of any building societies. In this Schedule, in relation to a scheme recognised by the Commission to any extent, a “direction for its recognition” means a direction that the scheme is, to the extent specified in the direction, a scheme recognised by the Commission. The central office shall maintain a register of recognised schemes for the investigation of complaints (“the register"), and the register shall— contain a copy of every scheme and the direction for its recognition a copy of which is directed to be kept in it by any provision of this Part of this Schedule; and be available for inspection on reasonable notice by members of the public on payment of the prescribed fee. Any member of the public shall be entitled, on payment of the prescribed fee, to be furnished with a copy of any scheme and the direction for its recognition kept in the register. If it appears to the Commission, from its own enquiries or from information made available to it, that a scheme has been made or is in operation which qualifies for recognition the Commission shall consider the scheme and the extent to which it qualifies for recognition. If, on consideration of a scheme, the Commission is satisfied that the scheme qualifies for recognition and conforms to the relevant requirements in relation to one or more relevant services, the Commission shall approve the scheme as a recognised scheme to such extent as it considers appropriate. The Commission shall, on approving a scheme under this paragraph, give a direction for its recognition. On giving a direction for the recognition of a scheme, the Commission shall send a copy of the scheme and of the direction to the central office; and the central office shall keep the copy of the scheme and of the direction in the register. Submission by or on behalf of building societies of a scheme for approval by the Commission as a recognised scheme shall be made by an application for recognition which shall be— made in such manner as the Commission specifies, either generally or in any particular case; and accompanied by such information as the Commission may reasonably require, either generally or in any particular case, in order to make its decision on the application; and in this paragraph “the applicants” means those societies or the person acting on their behalf for the purposes of the application. Where an application is made to the Commission for recognition of a scheme then— if it appears to the Commission that the scheme qualifies for recognition and conforms to the relevant requirements in respect of one or more relevant services, the Commission shall approve the scheme as a recognised scheme to such extent as it considers appropriate; if it appears to the Commission that the scheme, with modifications, will, in addition to qualifying for recognition, conform to the relevant requirements in respect of one or more relevant services, and the applicants agree on appropriate modifications within the period of 21 days from the date on which the Commission notifies the applicants of the modifications it proposes for their agreement, the Commission shall approve the scheme as modified as a recognised scheme to such extent as it considers appropriate; but otherwise it shall withold its approval. The Commission shall, on approving a scheme, give a direction for its recognition and send copies of the direction to the applicants. On giving a direction for the recognition of a scheme, the Commission shall also send a copy of the scheme and of the direction to the central office; and the central office shall keep the copy of the scheme and of the direction in the register. A building society or connected undertaking of a building societywhich accedes to a recognised scheme or has acceded to a scheme which becomes a recognised scheme shall, within the period of 21 days beginning with the date of its accession or on which it receives a copy of the direction for its recognition, as the case may be, send a notice of that fact to the central office and to the Commission. A notice by a society or undertakingunder sub-paragraph (1) above shall specify the relevant services action in relation to which by the society or undertakingis subject to investigation under the scheme. The central office, on receiving such a notice from a society, shall, if satisfied that the scheme is a recognised scheme to the extent required to enable the society to comply with its duty under section 83(3) in relation to the relevant services specified in the notice record the accession of the society to the scheme in the public file of the society. The central office, on receiving such a notice from a connected undertaking of a society, shall, if satisfied that the scheme is a recognised scheme to the extent required to enable the society to comply with its duty under section 83(4) in relation to the relevant services specified in the notice record the accession of the undertaking to the scheme in the public file of the society. If a building society or connected undertakingfails to comply with sub-paragraph (1) above, the society or undertakingshall be liable on summary conviction— to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale; and in the case of a continuing offence, to an additional fine not exceeding £100 for every day during which the offence continuesX; and so shall any director of the society or undertakingwho is also guilty of the offence. The Commission may withdraw its recognition of a scheme if it appears to the Commission that— the scheme does not conform to the relevant requirements; or the scheme is so operated as not to conform to those requirements. Withdrawal of recognition of a scheme under this paragraph may operate in relation to the scheme as a whole or to the extent to which the scheme makes one or more relevant services subject to investigation under it.

If the Commission proposes at any time to withdraw recognition of a scheme to any extent, it shall serve on each member, on the body administering the scheme and on the adjudicator under the scheme, a notice stating— that the Commission proposes to withdraw recognition and to what extent; the grounds for the proposed withdrawal of recognition; and that the person receiving the notice may make representations with respect to the proposed withdrawal within such period of not less than 14 days as may be specified in the notice. The Commission shall, before reaching a decision on whether to withdraw recognition, consider any representations made to it in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) above and shall serve on every person on whom it served a notice under that sub-paragraph a notice stating its decision and the grounds for it. Withdrawal of recognition by the Commission shall take effect as from such date as is specified in the notice of its decision, being a date not less than one year nor more than two years after the date of the notice. A building society or connected undertaking of a building societywishing to withdraw from membership of a recognised scheme shall send notice of its proposed withdrawal to the central office and to the Commission. A notice by a society or undertakingunder sub-paragraph (1) above shall specify the relevant servicesaction in relation to which by the society or undertakingis subject to investigation under the scheme and the recognised scheme or recognised schemes of which it is or, on its withdrawal, will become a member under which, as regards each of the relevant services specified in the notice, action by the society or undertakingis or will be subject to investigation. The central office, on receiving such a notice from a society, if satisfied that its withdrawal from the scheme will not result in a failure by it to comply with the duty imposed on it by section 83(3), shall confirm the withdrawal of the society from the scheme; but, if the central office is not so satisfied, the central office shall withold its confirmation. The central office, on receiving such a notice from a connected undertaking of a society, if satisfied that its withdrawal from the scheme will not result in a failure by the society to comply with the duty imposed on it by section 83(4), shall confirm the withdrawal of the undertaking from the scheme; but, if the central office is not so satisfied, the central office shall withhold its confirmation. If the central office withholds its confirmation of a society’s or undertaking’swithdrawal from a scheme, the society or undertakingshall continue to a member of the scheme and bound and entitled under the scheme accordingly. On confirming the withdrawal of a society or connected undertaking of a societyfrom a scheme the central office shall send to the society or undertakingand to the Commission notice of its decision and the central office shall record the decision in the public file of the society. No court other than the High Court or, in the case of a building society whose principal office is in Scotland the Court of Session, shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine disputes to which this paragraph applies; and, in this Part of this Schedule, “the court” means the High Court or, as the case may be, the Court of Session. This paragraph applies to any dispute— between a building society and a member of the society in his capacity as a member, or between a building society and a representative of such a member in that capacity, in respect of any rights or obligations arising from the rules of the society or any provision of this Act or any statutory instrument under it. Except in the cases referred to in sub-paragraph (5) below, no disputes to which this paragraph applies may be referred to arbitration. The court shall not hear and determine any dispute arising out of section 61(8)(a) or paragraph 20A(10)(a) or 31(4)(a) of Schedule 2 to this Act. The court shall not hear and determine any dispute which is required to be referred to arbitration under paragraph 4 below or which is referred to the FCA under paragraph 6 or to an adjudicator under paragraph 7 below except as provided in paragraph 2 below. The court may hear and determine a dispute falling within paragraph 1(5) above in any case where, on the application of any person concerned, it appears to the court— that application has been made by either party to the dispute to the other party for the purpose of having the dispute settled by arbitration, and that either arbitrators have not been appointed within 40 days of that application or the arbitrators have refused, or have neglected for a period of 21 days, to proceed with the reference or make an award. Any person who institutes proceedings in the court in relation to a dispute to which paragraph 1 above applies shall give notice of the fact and of the matter in dispute to the FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA . The court shall not proceed to hear a dispute to which paragraph 1 applies until the court is satisfied that the notice required by sub-paragraph (1) above has been given. The FCA and, if the society is a PRA-authorised person, the PRA shall be entitled, with the leave of the court, to attend and to be heard at any hearing of a dispute to which paragraph 1 applies. If the rules of the society so provide, any dispute in respect of a refusal by a building society to send to its members— copies of an election address or a revised election address, in accordance with section 61(7), or any document required to be sent under paragraph 20A(1)(b) or 31(1) of Schedule 2 to this Act, shall, unless the refusal is on one of the grounds specified in sub-paragraph (2) below, be referred to arbitration. Those grounds are— that publicity for the document in question would be likely to diminish substantially the confidence in the society of investing members of the public, or that the rights conferred by section 61(7) or paragraph 20A(1)(b) or 31(1) are being abused to seek needless publicity for defamatory matter. If the rules of the society so provide, any dispute in respect of a refusal by a building society to call a special meeting required to be called under paragraph 20A(1)(a) of Schedule 2 to this Act shall be referred to arbitration. This paragraph has effect in relation to an arbitration under paragraph 4(1) above. One or more arbitrators shall be appointed in the manner provided for by the rules of the building society; and so shall another arbitrator if an appointed arbitrator dies or refuses to act. No arbitrator acting on a reference shall be beneficially interested (whether directly or indirectly) in the funds of the society. The rules of the society may provide for the procedure to be followed on a reference to arbitration. An award made by arbitrators, or the majority of them, shall be final and binding. For the purposes of Part I of the Arbitration Act 1996 the rules of the society shall be treated as an arbitration agreement. In relation to Scotland, sub-paragraph (6) above shall be omitted. Any dispute as to the rights of a member of a building society under paragraph 15 of Schedule 2 to this Act shall be referred to the FCA . The reference of a dispute to the FCA under this paragraph shall be treated as a reference to arbitration; and its award shall have the same effect as that of an arbitrator acting in a reference under paragraph 4(1) above. The FCA must consult the PRA before making any such award. In this Part of this Schedule, in relation to an arbitration in Scotland, references to an arbitrator shall be read as references to an arbiter. The enactments which comprise the companies winding up legislation (referred to in this Schedule as “the enactments”) are the provisions of— Parts IV, VI, VII , XII and XIII of the Insolvency Act 1986, or Articles 5 to 8 of Part I and Parts V, VII and XI of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989; or and, in so far as they relate to offences under any such enactment, sections 430 and 432 of, and Schedule 10 to, the Insolvency Act 1986 or Articles 2(6) and 373 of, and Schedule 7 to, the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989. “deposit” means rights of the kind described in— paragraph 22 of Schedule 2 to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (deposits); or section 1(2)(b) of the Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Act 2008 (balances transferred under that Act to authorised reclaim fund); and “relevant deposit” means— an “eligible deposit” within the meaning given by paragraph 15C(1) of Schedule 6 to the Insolvency Act 1986 (categories of preferential debts) or a deposit of the kind mentioned in paragraph 15BB of that Schedule; or an “eligible deposit” within the meaning given by paragraph 21(1) of Schedule 4 to the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 (categories of preferential debts) or a deposit of the kind mentioned in paragraph 20 of that Schedule. Subject to the following provisions of this Schedule, the enactments apply to the winding up of building societies as they apply to the winding up of companies limited by shares and registered under the Companies Act 2006 in England and Wales or Scotland or (as the case may be) in Northern Ireland. The enactments shall, in their application to building societies, have effect with the substitution— for “company” of “ building society ” (except as otherwise specified in paragraphs 33B and 55G below) ; for “the registrar of companies” or “the registrar” of “ Financial Conduct Authority ”; for “the articles” of “ the rules ”; and for “registered office” of “ principal office ”. In the application of the enactments to building societies— every reference to a company registered in Scotland shall have effect as a reference to a building society whose principal office is situated in Scotland; every reference to a company registered in Scotland shall have effect as a reference to a building society whose registered office is situated in Scotland; a reference to the debts of a company includes a reference to sums due to shareholding members of a building society in respect of deposits; every reference to the officers, or to a particular officer, of a company shall have effect as a reference to the officers, or to the corresponding officer, of the building society and as including a person holding himself out as such an officer; and every reference to an administrative receiver shall be omitted. Where any of the enactments as applied to building societies requires a notice or other document to be sent to the FCA , it shall have effect as if it required the FCA to keep the notice or document in the public file of the society concerned and to record in that file the date on which the notice or document is placed in it. Where any of the enactments, as so applied, refers to the registration, or to the date of registration, of such a notice or document, that enactment shall have effect as if it referred to the placing of the notice or document in the public file or (as the case may be) to the date on which it was placed there. Any enactment which specifies a money sum altered by order under section 416 of the Insolvency Act 1986, or, as the case may be, Article 362 of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989, (powers to alter monetary limits) applies with the effect of the alteration. In this Part of this Schedule, Part IV of the Insolvency Act 1986 is referred to as “Part IV”; and that"Act is referred to as “the Act”. Parts 4, 6, 7 and 12 of, and Schedule 10 to, the Act, in their application to building societies, have effect without the amendments of those Parts and that Schedule made by— section 122 of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 (abolition of requirements to hold meetings: company insolvency); section 124 of that Act (ability for creditors to opt not to receive certain notices: company insolvency); and Part 1 of Schedule 9 to that Act (sections 122 to 125: further amendments). In the following provisions of the Act a reference to the creditors, general creditors or unsecured creditors of a company includes a reference to every shareholding member of the building society to whom a sum due from the society in relation to the member’s shareholding is due in respect of a deposit— subsection (1) of section 143 (general functions of liquidator in winding up by the court); subsection (3) of section 149 (debts due from contributory to company); subsection (4) of section 168 (supplementary powers (England and Wales)); subsection (2)(b) of section 175 (preferential debts (general provision)); subsection (1) of section 176ZA (payment of expenses of winding up (England and Wales)); ... subsections (3)(b) and (5)(a) of section 176A (share of assets for unsecured creditors); subsection (1)(e) of section 391O (direct sanctions orders); subsection (5) of section 391Q (direct sanctions order: conditions); and subsection (3)(e) of section 391R (direct sanctions direction instead of order). Section 74 (liability of members) of the Act is modified as follows. In subsection (1), the reference to any past member shall be omitted. Paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (2) shall be omitted; and so shall subsection (3). In paragraph (f) of subsection (2) the reference to a sum due to a member of the company by way of dividends, profits or otherwise does not include a sum due to a shareholding member of a building society in respect of a deposit. The extent of the liability of a member of a building society in a winding up shall not exceed the extent of his liability under paragraph 6 of Schedule 2 to this Act. Sections 75 to 78 and 83 in Chapter I of Part IV (miscellaneous provisions not relevant to building societies) do not apply. Section 79 (meaning of “contributory”) of the Act does not apply.

Subject to the provisions of Part IV relating to preferential payments, a building society’s property in a voluntary winding up shall be applied in satisfaction of the society’s liabilities to creditors . . . pari passu and, subject to that application, in accordance with the rules of the society.

Where a building society adopts any adoptable power under paragraph 2 or 3 above— it shall, by virtue of this paragraph, assume an obligation, enforceable as provided in pararaph 9 below, not to exercise that power until the date on which the memorandum of its powers takes effect as respects that power, and it shall send to the central office, with the documents required by paragraph 2(1) or 3(1) above a declaration as respects that power made on behalf of the society which satisfies the requirements of this paragraph. The obligation assumed by virtue of this paragraph on the adoption of a power does not extend to the exercise of any power included in the adoptable power which the society has under the law in force at any time before the registration takes effect. A declaration, to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph, must be made by the chairman of the board of directors of the society, by one other director and by the chief executive of the society and it must either— state that, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the declarants, after due enquiry, the society has not, or has not with the permitted qualification, carried on any activity comprised in the power during the period which began one year before the specified date (or with 1 April 1986, if later) and expired with the date of the meeting at which the power was adopted, or state that, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the declarants, after due enquiry, the society, with specified exceptions, has not, or has not with the permitted qualification, carried on any activity comprised in the power during the period which began one year before the specified date (or with 1 April 1986, if later) and expired with the date of the meeting at which the power was adopted. The qualification of the statement so required which is permitted is that in so far as the society has, at any time during the said period, carried on any activity comprised in the power to which the statement relates, the society had the power to carry on that activity at that time under the law in force at that time. The exceptions to the statement so required must not include activities of the society which constitute significant excesses of its powers during the said period; and a declaration specifying activities as exceptions to the statement so required must also state the opinion of the declarants that the activities are believed not to constitute significant excesses of the society’s powers during the period to which the declaration relates.

If, in breach of the obligation assumed by virtue of paragraph 8 above, a building society exercises any power to which the obligation extends, then— the society shall be liable on conviction on indictment or on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding, on summary conviction, the statutory maximum, and every officer of the society who is also guilty of the offence shall be liable, on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum. If the statement in a declaration made for the purposes of paragraph 8 above is false, then, any person who made the statement knowing it to be false or reckless as to whether it was true or false shall be liable— on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine or both, and on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or both. The central office, on receiving from a building society the declaration required by and the other documents referred to in paragraph 8 above, shall refer to the Commission for its determination the questi on whether or not the memorandum of the society’s powers is to be registered. On a reference to the Commission of the question whether or not the memorandum of a society’s power is to be registered— if the declaration contains the statement specified in paragraph 8(3)(a) above and the Commission has no reasonable cause to believe that the society in question has carried on any activity comprised in the power to which the obligation imposed by paragraph 8 above extends at any time during the period which begin one year before the specified date (or with 1st April 1986, if later) and expired on the date on which it considers the reference, the Commission shall direct the central office to register the memorandum, and in any other case, the Commission may, as it thinks fit, direct the central office to register, or not to register, the memorandum. The Commission, in deciding, in a case falling within sub-paragraph (2)(b) above, whether or not to direct the registration of the memorandum of a society’s powers may have regard to all the circumstances of the case. No registration of a memorandum shall be effected by the central office under paragraph 2(2) or 3(2) above before the expiry of the period of 21 days beginning with the date on which it receives the declaration required by and the other documents referred to in paragraph 8 above. If the central office, in pursuance of a direction of the Commission under sub-paragraph (2) above, refuses registration of the memorandum of a society’s powers under sub-paragraph (1) above it shall serve on the society a notice— The central office shall comply with any direction as regards the registration of the memorandum of the society’s powers given to it by the Commission consequent on the Commission’s determination of the society’s powers under section 38. Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this Schedule implies that it is improper for any of the following, that is to say— the Chief Registrar or any assistant registrar of the central office, the assistant registrar of friendly societies for Scotland, the registrar of building societies for Northern Ireland, or the Commission, to give to a building society or building societies generally an indication of the action the Commission might or might not take in exercising its functions under this paragraph; and no decision of the Commission under this paragraph shall be liable to be set aside by reason of the indication having been given. In this paragraph “the specified date” has the same meaning as in paragraph 2 or, as the case may be, 3 above. Until provision is made by an order under section 10(6) prescribing the descriptions of equitable interests in land which may be taken as security for advances secured on land, building societies may advance money on the security of an equitable interest in land in England and Wales or Northern Ireland in addition to a mortgage of the freehold or leasehold estate where the lease or a related instrument includes provision entitling the leaseholder to acquire a beneficial interest of any extent in the freehold or a greater leasehold interest and the right to acquire that interest is assigned as additional security. Until such provision is made, section 17(10) shall have effect with the substitution of a reference to an equitable interest of the description specified in sub-paragraph (1) above for the reference to an equitable interest specified in an order under section 10(6). On the making of the first order under section 10(6) this paragraph shall cease to have effect. Until provision is made by an order under section 12(3) prescribing indemnities given by a local authority as a description of additional security for the purposes of section 11(4)(c), an indemnity given under section 442 of the Housing Act 1985, under section 31 of the Tenants’ Rights, Etc. (Scotland) Act 1980 or under Article 156 of the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 shall be such a security; and on the making of the first order under section 12(3) this paragraph shall cease to have effect. Except as provided in this paragraph, an existing director shall be treated for the purposes of sections 60 and 61 as having been duly elected a director on the date of his appointment as a director or, as the case may be, of his most recent re-appointment to that office before the commencement date. An existing director who holds office as director by virtue of holding some other position in the society shall, except in a case within sub-paragraph (4) below, be treated for the purposes of sections 60 and 61 as having been duly elected a director at the commencement date. If the term of office of an existing director would, in accordance with the terms on which he holds office, expire on an earlier date than is provided for by sub-paragraph (1) above, he shall vacate office on that earlier date. An existing director who has attained the normal retirement age, or the compulsory retirement age (if any), as the case may be, before the commencement date shall retire from office at the first annual general meeting of the society after the commencement date. If, at the commencement date, an existing director, other than a director falling within sub-paragraph (2) above, has held office since the date of his appointment or most recent re-appointment for a period longer than is provided for in section 60(11)(a), he shall retire from office at the first annual general meeting of the society after the commencement date. “the commencement date” means the commencement date for sections 60 and 61; “existing director” means any director of a building society in office immediately before the commencement date; and “the compulsory retirement age” and “the normal retirement age” have the meanings given in section 60(8). For the purposes of the application of section 118 by reference to the annual accounts of a building society prepared before the first financial year for which accounts under Part VIII of this Act are prepared, the reference to the total commercial assets of a society shall have effect as a reference to the amount in the last balance sheet prepared under the Building Societies Act 1962 which represents the total assets constituted by mortgage debts outstanding to the society.
