19Removal from Register: protection of assetsS

[F1(1)A body removed from the Register (under section 18 or otherwise) continues to be under a duty to apply its protected charitable assets—

(a)in accordance with its charitable purposes as set out in its entry in the Register immediately before its removal (its “most recent purposes”), and

(b)to provide public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere.

(1A)In this section, “protected charitable assets” means—

(a)any property acquired, or any property representing property acquired, before the body was removed from the Register,

(b)any property representing income which accrued before the body was removed from the Register, and

(c)the income from any such property.

(1B)The application of protected charitable assets in accordance with a body’s most recent purposes is not to be presumed to be for the public benefit.

(1C)In determining whether a body is applying its protected charitable assets for public benefit, section 8(2) applies subject to the modifications in subsection (1D).

(1D)The modifications are that—

(a)in the opening words, the reference to determining whether a body provides or intends to provide public benefit is to be read as if it were a reference to determining whether a body is applying its protected charitable assets for public benefit,

(b)in the closing words of paragraph (a), the reference to the consequence of the body exercising its functions is to be read as if it were a reference to the consequence of the body applying its protected charitable assets.]

(2)Despite the removal of a body from the Register, the provisions of this Part set out in subsection (3) continue to apply to the body, but only so far as they relate to [F2its protected charitable assets].

(3)Those provisions are—

(a)in Chapter 4—

  • sections 28 and 29,

  • section 31(1) to (3) and (5) to (9),

  • section 32,

  • section 33(2) to (5),

  • section 34(1) to (3), (5)(a) to (c) and (f) to (h), (7) and (10)(b), and

  • section 37, and

(b)in Chapter 6, sections 44 and 45.

(4)The Court of Session may, on an application by OSCR, approve a scheme prepared by OSCR in accordance with regulations made by the Scottish Ministers for the transfer to a charity specified in the scheme of any [F3protected charitable assets] which a body removed from the Register is required to apply in accordance with subsection (1).

[F4(4A)OSCR must consult the Scottish Housing Regulator before making an application under subsection (4) in relation to a registered social landlord (within the meaning of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010 (asp 17)).]

(5)The court may approve such a scheme only if it is satisfied—

(a)that it is necessary or desirable to act for the purpose of protecting the [F5protected charitable assets] to which the scheme relates or securing a proper application of such [F5protected charitable assets] for the [F6charitable] purposes which were set out in the body's entry in the Register immediately before its removal, and

(b)that those purposes would be better achieved by transferring the [F7protected charitable assets] to a charity.

(6)The court may approve a scheme under subsection (5) subject to modifications.

(7)A charity receiving [F8protected charitable assets] in pursuance of a scheme approved under subsection (5) may apply [F9the protected charitable assets] for its purposes as it thinks fit.

(8)The Scottish Ministers may by order disapply subsections (1) to (7) in relation to any property specified in the order.

(9)An order under subsection (8) may make provision in relation to particular items or types of property or in relation to property owned by particular persons.

(10)It is not competent for such order to make provision in relation to property which is not owned by a charity on the day the order takes effect.
