(1)The Authority may make rules (“trust scheme rules”) as to—
(a)the constitution, management and operation of authorised unit trust schemes;

(c)the rights and duties of the participants in any such scheme; and

(3)Trust scheme rules may make provision as to the contents of the trust deed, including provision requiring any of the matters mentioned in subsection (2) to be dealt with in the deed.
(4)But trust scheme rules are binding on the manager, trustee and participants independently of the contents of the trust deed and, in the case of the participants, have effect as if contained in it.
(5)If—

(b)the modification relates to the rights and duties of persons who hold the beneficial title to any shares in a company without also holding the legal title, and
(c)it appears to the Treasury that, for the purpose of assimilating the law relating to authorised unit trust schemes to the law relating to companies as so modified, it is expedient to modify the rule-making powers conferred on the Authority by this section,
the Treasury may by order make such modifications of those powers as they consider appropriate.
