The Corporation may by order appoint a person to be a committee member of a registered social landlord which is an industrial and provident society—
a
in place of a person removed by the Corporation,

where there are no members of the committee, or
c
where the Corporation is of the opinion that it is necessary for the proper management of the society’s affairs to have an additional committee member.
The power conferred by paragraph (c) may be exercised notwithstanding that it will cause the maximum number of committee members permissible under the society’s constitution to be exceeded.

A person may be so appointed whether or not he is a member of the society and, if he is not, notwithstanding that the rules of the society restrict appointment to members.

This does not prevent a person appointed under this paragraph from retiring in accordance with the rules of the society.

A person appointed under this paragraph is entitled—
a
to attend, speak and vote at any general meeting of the society and to receive all notices of and other communications relating to any general meeting which a member of the society is entitled to receive,
