(1) The following provisions of this Act, namely—

(a) sections 8 and 9,

(b) section 18 (except subsection (2)(ii)),

[F2 (c) sections 19 to 19C, and

(d) section 31A,]

shall have effect in relation to any recognised body which is managed or controlled wholly or mainly in or from England or Wales as they have effect in relation to a charity.

(2) Where—

(a) a recognised body is managed or controlled wholly or mainly in or from Scotland, but

(b) any person in England and Wales holds any property on behalf of the body or of any person concerned in its management or control,

then, if [F3 the Commission is satisfied] as to the matters mentioned in subsection (3) below, [F4 it may make] an order requiring the person holding the property not to part with it without [F5 the Commission's approval].

(3) The matters referred to in subsection (2) above are—

(a) that there has been any misconduct or mismanagement in the administration of the body; and

(b) that it is necessary or desirable to make an order under that subsection for the purpose of protecting the property of the body or securing a proper application of such property for the purposes of the body;

and the reference in that subsection to [F6 the Commission] being satisfied as to those matters is a reference to [F7 the Commission being] so satisfied on the basis of such information as may be [F8 supplied to it] by the [F9 Scottish Charity Regulator].

(4) Where—

(a) any person in England and Wales holds any property on behalf of a recognised body or of any person concerned in the management or control of such a body, and

(b) [F10 the Commission is satisfied] (whether on the basis of such information as may be [F11 supplied to it] by the [F12 Scottish Charity Regulator] or otherwise)—

(i) that there has been any misconduct or mismanagement in the administration of the body, and

(ii) that it is necessary or desirable to make an order under this subsection for the purpose of protecting the property of the body or securing a proper application of such property for the purposes of the body,

[F13 the Commission] may by order vest the property in such recognised body or charity as is specified in the order in accordance with subsection (5) below, or require any persons in whom the property is vested to transfer it to any such body or charity, or appoint any person to transfer the property to any such body or charity.

(5) The [F14 Commission] may specify in an order under subsection (4) above such other recognised body or such charity as [F15 it considers] appropriate, being a body or charity whose purposes are, in the opinion of the [F14 Commission], as similar in character to those of the body referred to in paragraph (a) of that subsection as is reasonably practicable; but the [F14 Commission] shall not so specify any body or charity unless [F16 it has received]—

(a) from the persons concerned in the management or control of the body, or

(b) from the charity trustees of the charity,

as the case may be, written confirmation that they are willing to accept the property.

(6) In this section “recognised body” [F17 means a body entered in the Scottish Charity Register].
