The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Mutual Societies) Order 2001

Requirements to provide documents etc.

6.—(1) Paragraph (2) applies where, by virtue of any provision of or made under any enactment, a person (“A”) other than a transferor was before commencement required or entitled—

(a) to provide any account, application, list, notice, plan, report, return, or any other document or material (including a copy of any document or material),

(b) to give any explanation or provide any other information, or

(c) to notify, report on, or make representations or a statement on, any matter,

to any transferor, or to any other person (“B”) on behalf of any transferor, in connection with the exercise by the transferor of any function which is transferred by article 4(2) to the Authority, but had not provided that document or material, given that explanation or information, or notified, reported on or made representations on that matter, before commencement.

(2) After commencement A is required or (as the case may be) entitled to provide that document or material, to give that explanation or information, or to notify, report on, or make representations on, that matter, to the Authority (or, as the case may be, to B on behalf of the Authority), but otherwise in the same form and containing the same particulars as would have been required before commencement.

(3) Paragraph (1) has effect no matter how the requirement or entitlement is expressed.

(4) Where the requirement or entitlement mentioned in paragraph (1) was subject to any provision requiring A to comply with the requirement or exercise the entitlement within a specified time (however expressed), that provision continues to apply in relation to the requirement imposed or entitlement given by paragraph (2), and the time period is to be treated as continuing to run without interruption.

(5) Where any person does anything after commencement in compliance with paragraph (2) in relation to which, if that thing had been done before commencement, a fee would have been payable to the transferor, he is required to pay that fee to the Authority, and the fee (insofar as it is not so paid) may be recovered by the Authority as a debt due to it.

(6) This article is without prejudice to the generality of article 5(1) and (2).

(7) This article has effect subject to any transitional provision or saving contained in Schedule 5 to this Order or in any other provision made under the 2000 Act.
