Article 54 Register of members and officers
Northern Ireland
Every credit union shall keep at its registered office a register and enter in that register—
the names and addresses of its members;
a statement of the number of shares held by each member and of the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid on the shares of each member;
a statement of other property in the credit union, whether in loans or otherwise, held by each member;
the date at which each person was entered in the register as a member, and the date at which any person ceased to be a member;
the names and addresses of the officers of the credit union, with the offices held by them respectively, and the dates on which they assumed office.
The register may be kept either by making entries in bound books or by recording the matters in question in any other manner; but, where it is not kept by making entries in a bound book but by some other means, adequate precautions shall be taken for guarding against falsification and facilitating its discovery.
Every credit union shall either—
keep at its registered office a duplicate register, containing the particulars in the register kept under paragraph (1) other than those entered under sub-paragraph (b) or (c) of that paragraph; or
so construct the register kept under paragraph (1) that it is possible to open to inspection the particulars in the register other than the particulars entered under paragraph (1) (b) or (c) without exposing those last-mentioned particulars.
A credit union's register or duplicate register kept under this Article, or any other register or list of members or shares kept by the credit union, shall be prima facie evidence of any of the following particulars entered in the register, that is to say—
the names and addresses of the members;
the number of shares respectively held by the members, the distinguishing numbers of those shares, if they are distinguished by numbers, and the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid on any of those shares;
the date at which the name of any person was entered in that register or list as a member;
the date at which any such person ceased to be a member.
