15(1)On and after the day on which a warrant comes into force, any charitable property which is held for the purposes of the disbanded unit in question and administered for those purposes according to the law of Northern Ireland shall (subject to the provisions of this Part of this Schedule) be held for the corresponding purposes, or most nearly corresponding purposes, of the successor unit designated by the warrant.U.K.
(2)In this Part of this Schedule “charitable property” means any property belonging to a charity.
(3)The same jurisdiction and powers shall be exercisable in relation to any charity owning property to which sub-paragraph (1) applies as would be exercisable if that sub-paragraph were not a provision of an Act of Parliament regulating the charity.
16(1)If the Department of Health and Social Services for Northern Ireland considers that paragraph 15(1) should not apply to all or any of the charitable property held for the purposes of a disbanded unit, that Department may make an order providing that paragraph 15(1) shall not apply or shall cease to apply to that property.U.K.
(2)An order under this paragraph may be made at any time during the period of 6 months beginning with the day on which the warrant is made.
17(1)If a charity affected by a warrant or any trustee of, or person interested in, such a charity considers that paragraph 15(1) should not apply to all or any of the property held by the charity for the purposes of the disbanded unit in question, then the charity, trustee or person interested, as the case may be, may apply to the court for an order providing that paragraph 15(1) shall cease to apply to that property or part.U.K.
(2)An application under this paragraph—
(a)may be made at any time within the period of 6 months beginning with the day on which the warrant comes into force; and
(b)is subject to section 29(3) of the M1Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 1964 (under which an application for an order of the court in connection with the administration of a charity may not be made without the consent of the Attorney General for Northern Ireland).
(3)In this paragraph “the court” has the same meaning as in the M2Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 1964.
18U.K.In any case where—
(a)the Secretary of State requests the Department of Health and Social Services for Northern Ireland to make provision with respect to any charitable property held for the purposes of a unit of a reserve force which has been or is to be disbanded; or
(b)an order is made under paragraph 16 or 17 excluding any charitable property so held from the operation of paragraph 15(1),
the Department may, notwithstanding anything in subsection (1) of section 13 of the M3Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 1964 and irrespective of the value of the property in question, exercise its jurisdiction under that section with respect to the property to which the request or order relates.
