(1)This section applies in any case where—
(a)a contracting-out certificate (“the first certificate”) has been surrendered by an employer or cancelled by the Board; and
(b)at any time before the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the date of the surrender or cancellation, that or any connected employer makes an election under section 11 in respect of any employment which was specified by virtue of section 7(2)(a) in the first certificate, with a view to the issue of a further contracting-out certificate.
(2)This section applies whether or not the scheme specified in the first certificate in relation to the employment concerned is the same as the scheme which would be specified in the further certificate if it were issued.
(3)The Board shall not give effect to the election referred to in subsection (1) by issuing a further certificate unless they consider that, in all the circumstances of the case, it would be reasonable to do so.
(4)Regulations may make such supplemental provision in relation to cases falling within this section as the Secretary of State considers necessary or expedient.
(5)For the purposes of subsection (1)—
(a)an employment (“the second employment”) in respect of which an election of the kind referred to in subsection (1)(b) has been made; and
(b)an employment (“the first employment”) which was specified by virtue of section 7(2)(a) in the first certificate,
shall be treated as one employment if, in the opinion of the Board—
(i)they are substantially the same, however described; or
(ii)the first employment falls wholly or partly within the description of the second employment or the second employment falls wholly or partly within the description of the first employment.
(6)Regulations shall prescribe the cases in which employers are to be treated as connected for the purposes of this section.
