3.—(1) For the purposes of these Regulations, the time when an occupational pension scheme begins to be wound up shall be determined in accordance with this regulation.
(2) Subject to paragraphs (3) to (6), where the rules of the scheme require or permit the scheme to be wound up and the scheme is wound up under those rules, the scheme begins to be wound up—
(a)either—
(i)at such time as the rules provide that it does so; or
(ii)if the rules make no provision as to that time, at such time as the trustees or managers determine that the scheme shall begin to be wound up; or
(b)as soon as there are no members who are in pensionable service under the scheme,
whichever is the later.
(3) Where the rules of the scheme require or permit the scheme to be wound up but the trustees or managers determine in pursuance of section 38 of the 1995 Act M1 or otherwise that the scheme is not to be wound up for the time being, then for the purposes of paragraph (2), in so far as any provision made by the rules of the scheme as to the time when it begins to be wound up is inconsistent with the trustees' or managers' determination, that provision shall be disregarded.
(4) Where under the rules of the scheme, any person other than the trustees or managers may determine that the scheme is to be wound up, or is not to be wound up for the time being, then the references in paragraphs (2)(a)(ii) and (3) to the trustees' or managers' determination shall be taken, in a case where the winding up begins or is deferred by virtue of that other person's determination, as a reference to his determination.
(5) Paragraph (4) applies where such power is vested in the trustees or managers jointly with another person, or in some but not all of the trustees, as it applies where such a power is vested only in a person other than the trustees or managers.
(6) Where—
(a)the scheme manager is satisfied that the scheme began to wind up during the period prescribed in regulation 9(1)(b); but
(b)the exact date on which the scheme began to wind up cannot be determined,
the scheme begins to be wound up on such date, within that period, as the scheme manager determines.
(7) Where—
(a)a scheme is wound up in pursuance—
(i)of an order by the Determinations Panel on behalf of the Regulator under section 11 of the 1995 Act M2 (see section 9); or
(ii)of an order of a court; and
(b)the order makes provision as to the time at which the scheme is to begin to be wound up,
the scheme begins to be wound up at the time specified in the order or, if none is so specified, the date on which the order takes effect.
