Regulation 19 Procedure for dissolution: delivery of letters and notices

This regulation applies for the purpose of determining the manner of delivery of letters and notices to be sent under regulation 16, 17 or 18.

The letter or notice must be sent to the CIO at its principal office as it appears on the register of charities.

If the Commission has reasonable grounds to believe that sending the letter or notice to the CIO’s principal office as it appears on the register of charities is unlikely to bring it to the attention of the charity trustees, the Commission must also send it to any other address the Commission has for the CIO.

If the Commission has reasonable grounds to believe that sending the letter or notice to any other address it has for the CIO is unlikely to bring it to the attention of the charity trustees, the Commission must also send it to each charity trustee of the CIO for whom the Commission has an address.

If there are no charity trustees for whom the Commission has an address, the Commission must also send the letter or notice to any member of the CIO for whom the Commission has an address.

A notice to be sent to a liquidator may be addressed to the liquidator at the liquidator’s last known place of business.

The Commission may send a letter (other than a letter under regulation 16(3)) or notice by electronic means to an electronic address if the intended recipient has agreed that the Commission may send documents or other information by electronic means to that address.

In this regulation “electronic means” has the meaning given by regulation 4 of the Charitable Incorporated Organisations (General) Regulations 2012^f1.
