Housing and Regeneration Act 2008

Section 162 - Company:  winding up

470.Subsection (1) specifies that the effect of this section is restricted to non-profit registered providers that are companies.

471.Subsection (2) provides that the regulator must first consent in writing before a special resolution for the voluntary winding up of a company under the Insolvency Act 1986 is effective. This broadly replicates the effect of paragraph 13(6)(a) of Schedule 1 to the 1996 Act.

472.Subsection (3) provides that the requirement to send a copy of the special resolution to the registrar of companies under section 30 of the Companies Act 2006 is satisfied only if a copy of the regulator’s consent accompanies the special resolution. Failure to comply with section 30 of the Companies Act 2006 is an offence. Subsection (3) broadly replicates the effect of paragraph 13(6)(b) of Schedule 1 to the 1996 Act which referred to the earlier equivalent provision in section 380 of the Companies Act 1985.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
