Textual Amendments
F1Pt. XVII Ch. 3A inserted (6.6.2013) by The Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (Contractual Scheme) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/1388), regs. 1, 3(12) (with reg. 24)
(1)In this section “authorised contract” means a contract which the operator of a co-ownership scheme is authorised to enter into on behalf of the relevant participants for the purposes of, or in connection with, the acquisition, management or disposal of property subject to the scheme (but does not include a contract by which a person becomes a participant in the scheme).
(2)The relevant participants are—
(a)in the case of a contract relating to a stand-alone co-ownership scheme, the participants in the scheme;
(b)in the case of a contract relating to an umbrella co-ownership scheme, the participants in the sub-scheme of the umbrella co-ownership scheme to which the contract relates.
(3)The operator on behalf of the relevant participants may—
(a)exercise rights under an authorised contract;
(b)bring and defend proceedings for the resolution of any matter relating to an authorised contract; and
(c)take action in relation to the enforcement of any judgment given in such proceedings.
(4)The relevant participants may not themselves do any of the things mentioned in subsection (3), but this does not affect their rights as against the operator.
(5)A person who enters into a contract which purports to be an authorised contract is deemed to have actual knowledge of the scope of the authority given to the operator by the contractual scheme deed.
(6)The validity of an authorised contract is not to be called into question on the ground that a participant lacks capacity to authorise the operator to enter into such a contract.
(7)An authorised contract must make provision for any property which is acquired under or by virtue of the contract to be held by, or to the order of, the depositary of the scheme concerned.]
