(c) a winding-up order, or an administration order under Part II of the [1985 c. 65.] Insolvency Act 1985, has been made with respect to a recognised body or a resolution for voluntary winding-up has been passed with respect to a recognised body (other than a resolution passed solely for the purposes of its reconstruction or of its amalgamation with another body corporate) ; or

(d) the Council has reason to suspect dishonesty on the part of any officer or employee of a recognised body in connection with that body's business,
