Building Societies Act 1986, Section 66A is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 05 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.

(1)This section applies where a building society enters into a transaction the parties to which include—
(a)a director of the society; or
(b)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.
(2)The transaction is voidable at the instance of the society.
(3)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—
(a)to account to the society for any gain which he has made directly or indirectly by the transaction, and
(b)to indemnify the society for any loss or damage resulting from the transaction.
(4)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.
(5)The transaction ceases to be voidable if—
(a)restitution of any money or other asset which was the subject-matter of the transaction is no longer possible, or
(b)the society is indemnified for any loss or damage resulting from the transaction, or
(c)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
(d)the transaction is ratified by the society in general meeting, by ordinary or special resolution or otherwise as the case may require.
(6)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.
(7)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.
(8)In this section “transaction” includes any act; and the reference in subsection (1) above to limitations under the society’s constitution includes limitations deriving—
(a)from a resolution of the society passed at a general or special meeting or on a postal [F2or electronic] ballot; or
(b)from any agreement between the members of the society.]
