(1) An order under section 46(1) may, where the landlord is [F4 a registered society], give the manager power to make and execute on behalf of the society an instrument transferring the engagements of the society.

(2) Any such instrument has the same effect as a transfer of engagements under [F5 section 110 or 112 of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014] (transfer of engagements by special resolution to another society or a company).

[F6 In particular, it does not prejudice any right of a creditor of the society.]

(3) A copy of the instrument, signed by the manager, shall be sent to the [F7 [F8 Financial Conduct Authority] and registered by it]; and until that copy is so registered the instrument shall not take effect.

(4) It is the duty of the manager to send a copy for registration within 14 days from the day on which the instrument is executed; but this does not invalidate registration after that time.
