Payments out of the Scheme: liabilities for which members are treated as liable
17.—(1) Paragraph (2) applies to any payment in connection with—
(a)a claim in respect of a qualifying liability falling within regulation 9 (liabilities of insolvent former members for which members treated as liable); or
(b)a claim in respect of a qualifying liability falling within regulation 10 (other liabilities for which members treated as liable),
where the payment falls to be made by a member of the Scheme which under regulation 9(3) or 10(4) is treated as being liable in respect of the claim.
(2) Regulations 14 to 16 (circumstances in which payments are to be made out of the Scheme in respect of liabilities of members and former members) are to apply to enable payments to be made to or on behalf of any member of the Scheme in respect of qualifying liabilities as those regulations apply in respect of the member’s own liabilities.
(3) In the application of regulation 14, 15 or 16 for the purposes of paragraph (2), references to anything being done by, to or against a member in respect of a liability to which the Scheme applies includes references to it being done in respect of a qualifying liability for which the member is treated as being liable.
