Version Superseded: 01/12/2001
Point in time view as at 31/12/1997. This version of this provision has been superseded.
You are viewing this legislation item as it stood at a particular point in time. A later version of this or provision, including subsequent changes and effects, supersedes this version.
Note the term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.
Building Societies Act 1986, Paragraph 2 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 12 October 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time. To view the ‘Changes to Legislation’ information for this provision return to the latest version view using the options provided in the ‘What Version’ box above.
2A scheme must not exclude action from investigation on any other than the following grounds, that is to say—
(a)that the complaint is frivolous or vexatious;
(b)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;
[F1(bb)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;]
(c)that, where the society or [F2connected 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;
(d)that there has been undue delay in having the matter investigated under the scheme [F3, or in furnishing evidence in support of the complaint]; or
(e)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, [F4of 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 [F5connected 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.
[F6Note: 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.]
