Modifications having been made to statutory provision in force in Great Britain and Northern Ireland relating to the avoidance of provisions exempting officers and auditors of companies from liability(1) it appears to the Treasury to be expedient to modify the relevant provision of the Building Societies Act 1986(2) for the purposes of assimilating the law relating to companies and the law relating to building societies, and accordingly, in exercise of the powers conferred on them by section 104 of the Building Societies Act 1986, and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, the Treasury hereby make the following Order, a draft of which has been laid before and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament:

(1)

The relevant modifications are those made to the Companies Act 1985 (c. 6) by section 137 of the Companies Act 1989 (c. 40) and to the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 (S.I. 1986/1032 (N.I.6)) by Article 72 of the Companies (No. 2) (Northern Ireland) Order 1990 (S.I. 1990/1504 (N.I.10)).

(2)

1986 c. 53. Section 104 was amended by section 211(1) of the Companies Act 1989 brought into force under s.215(2) by S.I. 1991/1996.
