2 Restrictions on building societies’ borrowing and acceptance of
subscriptions for shares
[SI 1981/1488/3 and 11]
(1) to (3) inclusive [Repealed]1
(4) The fact that funds are accepted in contravention of section 7 of the
Financial Services Act 2008 shall not affect any civil liability arising in
respect of the acceptance or of the funds accepted.2
(5) Subject to subsection (6), any obligation to make a payment to a building
society which, by virtue of section 7 of the Financial Services Act 2008, the
society is prohibited from accepting, shall be wholly rescinded.3
(6) If —
(a) on the date on which this Act comes into operation; or
(b) at the time when the authorisation granted pursuant to section 7
of the Financial Services Act 2008 is revoked,4
a member is under an obligation to make payments to a society which
represent instalments of the amount due by way of subscription for a
share in the society and which by virtue of section 7 of the Financial
Services Act 2008 the society is prohibited from accepting, the obligation
shall (subject to anything in the rules of the society or any agreement
between the society and the member) be suspended in respect of each

instalment for the period when the society is not authorised; and
accordingly, if the society is subsequently granted authorisation, the sum
due shall again become payable by instalments.5
(7) Where the authorisation granted to a society pursuant to section 7 of the
Financial Services Act 2008 has been revoked, it shall be the duty of the
society to make reasonable arrangements for using the funds of the
society to meet applications by depositors or holders of shares in the
society (being applications duly made in accordance with the rules of the
society) for repayment of the money deposited or subscribed by them.6
(8) If it appears to the Authority that, when the authorisation granted to a
society pursuant to section 7 of the Financial Services Act 2008 has been
revoked, the society has been applying an undue proportion of the funds
of the society in making advances, in preference to meeting such
applications as are mentioned in subsection (7), it may, after giving
notice to the society and affording it an opportunity of making
representations, present a petition for the winding up of the society, and
the court may on such petition order the society to be wound up in
accordance with section 24(4) of the 1892 Act.7
(9) Any reference in this section to authorisation is to be construed as a
reference to authorisation by virtue of a licence under section 7 of the
Financial Services Act 2008.8
