where the F1Relevant Authority is of the opinion that it is necessary F9to have an additional officer in order to ensure that the company complies with a requirement imposed by or under an enactment.

The power conferred by paragraph (c) may be exercised notwithstanding that it will cause the maximum number of F5officers permissible under the charity’s constitution to be exceeded.

A person may be so appointed notwithstanding any restrictions on appointment in the charity’s constitution or rules.

4

A person appointed under this paragraph shall hold office for such period and on such terms as the F1Relevant Authority may specify; and on the expiry of the appointment the F1Relevant Authority may renew the appointment for such period as it may specify.

This does not prevent a person appointed under this paragraph from retiring in accordance with the charity’s constitution or rules.

a

to attend, speak and vote at any general meeting of the charity and to receive all notices of and other communications relating to any such meeting which a member is entitled to receive,
