Article 73 Stock in name of patient or receiver

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Where any stock—

(a)

is standing in the name of a patient beneficially entitled to it; or

(b)

is standing in the name of a receiver in trust for a patient, or as part of his property, and the receiver dies intestate or himself becomes incapable by reason of mental disorder of acting as receiver, or is out of the court’s jurisdiction, or it is uncertain whether he is still alive, or he neglects or refuses to transfer the stock or to receive and pay over the dividends as the court directs,

the court may order some proper person to transfer the stock into the name of the receiver or, as the case may be, a new receiver for the patient or into court or otherwise deal with it as the court may direct and also to receive and pay over the dividends as the court directs.

(2)

Where an order made under paragraph (1) or under section 100 of the Act directing stock to be transferred into court, the person required to effect the transfer shall be—

(a)

in the case of stock standing in the stock register kept by the Bank of England or any other bank or by the Crown Agents for Overseas Governments and Administrations, some proper officer of the bank or Crown Agents;

(b)

in any other case, some proper officer of the company or other body whose stock is to be transferred,

and that person shall, if so ordered, receive any sum accrued due before the transfer by way of dividend, bonus or periodical payment in respect of the stock and pay it into court to the general account of the patient or to a separate account or otherwise deal with it as the court may direct.
