F39(1)This paragraph applies in any case where—U.K.
(a)on an application for a distribution of money under section 25(1), a decision under a joint scheme to make such a distribution has been notified to the applicant, but
(b)an event falling within sub-paragraph (2) (“the relevant event”) occurs before the whole of the distribution has been made.
(2)The events which fall within this sub-paragraph are—
(a)that, by virtue of an order under section 29(1), any of the bodies participating in the scheme ceases to be specified in subsection (1), (2), (3) or (4) (as the case may be) of section 23,
(b)that the joint scheme terminates under paragraph 7, or
(c)that the joint scheme is revoked under paragraph 8(2)(b).
(3)Where this paragraph applies, the Secretary of State may authorise any of the bodies which were participating in the joint scheme immediately before the relevant event occurred to continue making distributions of money under section 25(1) in pursuance of the decision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) as if the relevant event had not occurred.
(4)Where the Secretary of State gives an authorisation under sub-paragraph (3) in relation to any distributions of money under section 25(1), the other provisions of this Act shall have effect in relation to those distributions as if the relevant event had not occurred.
(5)An authorisation under this paragraph accordingly extends to the defrayal of any administrative expenses incurred in making the distributions concerned.
(6)This paragraph is without prejudice to section 60(5) or paragraph 8.
(7)Any authorisation under this paragraph must be in writing.]
