Transfer of property etc
Section 7: Compensation etc. for property etc. transferred
29.This section makes similar provision for compensation in relation to a transfer under section 6 as is made by section 5 in relation to a transfer under section 3. It requires the Treasury to make provision for determining the amount of any compensation payable by the Treasury to the deposit-taker whose assets, rights and liabilities have been transferred to the public sector under section 6; or, where a transfer has been made under that section to another private sector body, for determining the amount of consideration payable by that body. The Treasury may also provide for compensation or consideration to be payable to other persons affected by provisions made under section 6. There are similar assumptions, in relation to compensation payable by the Treasury, to those in section 5. Section 9(2) applies in the same way. Again an order must be made within three months of the transfer to which it relates (subsection (6)).
