Friendly Societies, Northern Ireland

The Friendly Societies Act 1992 (Modification of Part 2) (Northern Ireland) Order 2017

Made

Laid before Parliament

Coming into force

Part 12 of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 19891 has been modified by the Insolvency (Amendment) Act (Northern Ireland) 20162.

For the purpose of assimilating the law relating to the winding up of friendly societies in Northern Ireland to the law relating to the winding up of companies in Northern Ireland as so modified, it appears to the Treasury to be expedient to modify so much of Part 2 of the Friendly Societies Act 19923 as relates to winding up in Northern Ireland.

The Treasury think it is appropriate for that purpose to make the modifications contained in article 2, and, accordingly, make this Order in exercise of the power conferred by section 102(1), (2)(a) and (5) of the Friendly Societies Act 1992.
