Investor Protection SchemeU.K.

29 Repayments in respect of contributions.U.K.

(1)Any moneys received by the Board under section 28 in respect of a [F1participating institution] insolvency shall not form part of the Fund but, for the remainder of the financial year of the Board in which they are received, shall be retained for the purposes of this section in its application in relation to that insolvency and so far as appears to the Board appropriate, shall be invested in Treasury bills; and any income arising from moneys so invested during the remainder of the year shall be credited to the Fund.

(2)The Board shall, in connection with each [F2participating institution] insolvency for the purposes of which it has levied contributions under section 26, prepare a scheme for the making, out of moneys received by the Board under section 28 in respect of that insolvency, of repayments to the [F3contributory institutions] in proportion to the contributions made by each [F4such institution] in respect of the insolvency.

(3)As soon as practicable after the end of the financial year of the Board in which any moneys are received by the Board in respect of a [F5participating institution] insolvency, the Board shall, subject to subsection (4) below, make out of those moneys the payments required by the scheme made under subsection (2) above in connection with that insolvency.

(4)Where payments are due under subsection (3) above to [F6participating institutions] from whom contributions are due under section 26 for the purposes of other [F7participating institution] insolvencies, the Board may appropriate out of the moneys retained by it under subsection (1) above amounts not exceeding the contributions due from [F8those institutions] and apply them as if they had been paid by [F8those institutions] as contributions for the purposes of the other [F7participating institution] insolvencies.

(5)If the Board makes appropriations under subsection (4) above, then, the amounts so appropriated shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid by the Board to those [F9institutions] in or towards discharge of its debts to them and paid by the [F9institutions] to the Board as contributions and corresponding amounts shall be credited to the Fund and debited to the account kept for the purposes of this section.

(6)If in any financial year of the Board the payments made under subsection (3) above (in that and any previous years) in pursuance of a scheme under subsection (2) above are more than sufficient to provide for repayment in full of all the contributions to which the scheme related, the balance remaining of the moneys received and retained by Board as mentioned in subsection (1) above shall be credited to the Fund.

(7)The Board, having regard to the factors specified in subsection (8) below, shall, as respects sums representing—

(a)any balance credited to the Fund under subsection (6) above and any interest thereon, or

(b)any balance of the contributions received in respect of the insolvency remaining after the making of insolvency payments to investors and the meeting of the other expenses attributable to the insolvency and any interest thereon,

either retain them in the Fund or pay so much of them to the [F10contributory institutions] in proportion to the contributions made by each such [F11institution] in respect of the insolvency, as the Board may think fit.

(8)Those factors are—

(a)the likely level of future administrative expenses of the Board, and

(b)the likelihood of other [F12participating institutions] becoming insolvent and, if they did, the amount of the expenses likely to be attributable to those insolvencies and the amounts likely to be available from [F13contributory institutions] to meet those expenses.
