Status

The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section. A version of a provision is prospective either:

  1. where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
  2. where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.

Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order is made under section 104 of the Building Societies Act 1986 for the purpose of assimilating in two respects the law relating to building societies to that relating to companies in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Firstly, following the substitution of a new section 229 in the Companies Act 1985 by sections 1 and 5 of the Companies Act 1989, it repeals the statutory exemptions from including the accounts of subsidiary undertakings of a building society in the society’s group accounts. (Article 4.) The relevant modifications of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 (S.I. 1986/1032 (N.I. 6)) were made by Article 7 of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1990 (S.I. 1990/593 (N.I. 5)).

Secondly, following the substitution of new sections 258, 259 and 260 of the Companies Act 1985 by sections 1, 21(1) and 22 of and the insertion of schedule 10A into the 1985 Act by sections 1 and 21(2) of, and schedule 9 to, the Companies Act 1989, Articles 3 and 5 redefine (for the provisions relating to accounts in the Building Societies Act 1986) subsidiaries as subsidiary undertakings, in the terms laid down for companies' accounts by the corresponding provisions of the modified Companies Act 1985. The relevant modifications of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 were made by Articles 23 and 24 of, and Schedule 9 to the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1990.

(1)

Relevant modifications are those made to the Companies Act 1985 (1985, c. 6) by sections 1, 5, 21 and 22 of, and Schedule 9 to, the Companies Act 1989 (c. 40) and to the Comapnies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 (S.I. 1986/1032 (N.I. 6)) by Articles 7, 23 and 24 of, and Schedule 9 to the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1990 (S.I. 1990/593 (N.I. 5)).
