(1)This section applies where in relation to an occupational pension scheme—

(a)the Board determines under section 123 not to approve a notice issued under section 122 by an insolvency practitioner or former insolvency practitioner in relation to the employer, or

(b)an insolvency practitioner or former insolvency practitioner in relation to the employer fails to issue a notice under section 122 and the Board is satisfied that such a notice ought to have been issued under that section.

(2)The obligations on the insolvency practitioner or former insolvency practitioner imposed by subsections (2) and (4) of section 122 are to be treated as obligations imposed on the Board and the Board must accordingly issue a notice as required under that section.

(3)Subject to subsections (4) and (5), where a notice is issued under section 122 by the Board by virtue of this section, it has effect as if it were a notice issued under section 122 by an insolvency practitioner or, as the case may be, former insolvency practitioner in relation to the employer.

(4)Where a notice is issued under section 122 by virtue of this section, section 122(6) does not apply and the Board must, as soon as reasonably practicable, give a copy of the notice to—

(b)the trustees or managers of the scheme,

(c)the insolvency practitioner or former insolvency practitioner mentioned in subsection (1),

(d)any insolvency practitioner in relation to the employer (who does not fall within paragraph (c)), and

(e)if there is no insolvency practitioner in relation to the employer, the employer.

(5)Where the Board—

(a)is required to issue a notice under section 122 by virtue of this section, and

(b)is satisfied that the notice ought to have been issued at an earlier time,

it must specify that time in the notice and the notice is to have effect as if it had been issued at that time.
