Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations impose certain procedural requirements on applicants for a court order sanctioning an insurance, or banking, business transfer scheme under Part VII of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
Regulation 3 requires a person seeking the court’s approval of an insurance business transfer scheme to publicise in various newspapers the fact that an application has been made and to inform policyholders. It also requires various documents to be sent to the Financial Services Authority (“the Authority”) and to those who request them.
Under regulation 4, the court may not sanction an insurance business transfer where the applicant has not complied with certain requirements in regulation 3 or until the Authority has been in receipt of the application and report for at least 21 days. The court may waive some of the requirements where it considers it appropriate in the circumstances.
Regulations 5 and 6 make similar provision in relation to banking business transfer schemes.
