1
When a scheme comes into force, it has effect without more so as to transfer to the new licence company the property, rights and liabilities to which the scheme relates.
2
A scheme may divide the property, rights or liabilities of the existing licence company and in connection with that division may—
a
create for the existing licence company, the new licence company or any other licence companies an interest in or right over any property to which the scheme relates;
b
create new rights and liabilities as between any two or more of those companies with respect to the subject-matter of the scheme;
c
in connection with any provision made by virtue of paragraph (a) or (b), make incidental provision as to the interests, rights and liabilities of other persons with respect to the subject-matter of the scheme.
3
A scheme may impose duties on the existing licence company, the new licence company and any other licence company to take all such steps as may be necessary to secure that—
a
any interest, right or liability created by virtue of paragraph (a) or (b) of sub-paragraph (2), and
b
any incidental provision made by virtue of paragraph (c) of that sub-paragraph,
has effect.
4
A scheme may require the new licence company and any other licence companies to provide consideration in respect of the transfer or creation of property, rights and liabilities by means of the scheme.
5
A requirement imposed under sub-paragraph (4) is enforceable in the same way as if the property, rights and liabilities had been created or transferred, and (if the case so requires) had been capable of being created or transferred, by agreement between the parties.
6
The property, rights and liabilities of the existing licence company which may be transferred in accordance with a scheme include—
a
property, rights and liabilities which the existing licence company would not otherwise be capable of transferring or assigning;
b
property, rights and liabilities to which the existing licence company may become entitled or subject after the making of the scheme and before the appointed day;
c
property situated anywhere in the United Kingdom or elsewhere;
d
rights and liabilities under enactments;
e
rights and liabilities under the law of any part of the United Kingdom or of any country or territory outside the United Kingdom.
7
If a scheme makes a person entitled to possession of a document, the provision that may be made by virtue of sub-paragraph (2)(b) includes—
a
provision for treating that person as having given another person an acknowledgement in writing of the right of that other person to the production of the document and to delivery of copies of it,
b
provision applying section 64 of the M1Law of Property Act 1925 (production and safe custody of documents) to that acknowledgement,
c
provision that, where a scheme transfers any interest in land or other property situated in Scotland, subsections (1) and (2) of section 16 of the M2Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 (omission of certain clauses in deeds) are to have effect in relation to the transfer as if the transfer had been effected by deed and as if from each of those subsections the words “unless specially qualified” had been omitted, and
8
Sub-paragraph (9) applies if a transfer authorised by sub-paragraph (6)(a) would (were it not so authorised)—
a
give rise to a contravention or liability by reason of a provision relating to the terms on which the existing licence company is entitled or subject to the property, right or liability transferred, or
b
give rise to an interference with any interest or right by reason of such a provision.
9
In such a case the transfer does not give rise to such a contravention, liability or interference.
10
The provision referred to in sub-paragraph (8) may arise under an enactment or agreement or otherwise.
