Effect of incorporation on registered societyU.K.

3(1)Subject to the provisions of this Act, the incorporated society shall be treated after incorporation as the same person as the registered society.U.K.

(2)Without prejudice to the generality of sub-paragraph (1) above, any agreement made, transaction effected or other thing done by, to or in relation to the registered society which is in force or effective immediately before incorporation shall have effect as if made, effected or done by, to or in relation to the incorporated society; and, accordingly, references to the society—

(a)in any agreement;

(b)in any process or other document issued, prepared or employed for the purposes of any proceeding before any court or other tribunal or authority; and

(c)in any other document whatsoever (other than an enactment) relating to or affecting any property, right or liability of the society,

shall be taken as referring to the incorporated society.

4U.K.On incorporation of the registered society—

(a)a person who was immediately before incorporation a member of the registered society shall be a member of the incorporated society;

(b)any appointment as trustee or treasurer of the society shall determine; and

(c)all other persons who were officers of the registered society shall become officers, holding corresponding offices, of the incorporated society;

but paragraph (c) above is without prejudice to anything done by the society after incorporation as respects the election or appointment of members of its committee of management and its other officers.

(b)for references to officers of the registered society (other than its trustees or treasurer) there were substituted references to the corresponding officers of the incorporated society;

(c)for references to the trustees of the registered society there were substituted references to the incorporated society; and

(a)any contract of employment with the registered society in force immediately before incorporation is merely modified by the substitution of the name of the incorporated society as the employer (and is not terminated or varied in any other way);

(b)any period of employment with the registered society shall count for all purposes as a period of employment with the incorporated society; and
