  "text": "(1) The arrangements must be such as to secure that, if a cash call is made on the member in respect of an underwriting year, there shall be made into a premium trust fund of his, out of his special reserve fund, payments the amount of which is equal in the aggregate to the amount of the call, or the amount of his special reserve fund, whichever is the less.\n(1A) References in sub–paragraph (1) above to a cash call include references to a cash call made in respect of an underwriting year determined by paragraph 1(2)(c) above (“the relevant cash call”) if and to the extent that the aggregate amount of the relevant cash call and any previous cash calls made on the member in respect of the syndicate concerned exceeds the net amount of losses arising to the member from that syndicate which have been declared before the date of the relevant cash call after deducting the amount of profits arising to him from that syndicate which have been so declared.\n(2) Where the aggregate amount of any payments made under sub-paragraph (1) above in respect of any year is found to exceed the amount of the member’s syndicate loss for the year, there shall be made into his special reserve fund, out of a premium trust fund or ancillary trust fund of his, payments the amount of which is equal in the aggregate to the amount of the excess.\n(3) Where a stop-loss payment is made to the member in respect of his syndicate loss for any year, so much of the stop-loss payment as does not exceed the requisite amount shall be paid into his special reserve fund.\n(4) In sub-paragraph (3) above “the requisite amount” means so much of the amount (if any) given by sub-paragraph (5) below as does not exceed the aggregate amount mentioned in paragraph (b) of that sub-paragraph.\n(5) The amount given by this sub-paragraph is the amount by which—\n(a) the amount of the stop-loss payment, and\n(b) the aggregate amount of the payments under sub-paragraph (1) above as reduced by the aggregate amount of any payments under sub-paragraph (2) above,\nexceeds in the aggregate the amount of the member’s syndicate loss.\n(6) Where the whole or any part of a stop-loss payment made to a member is repaid, there shall be made to the member or his personal representatives or assigns, out of his special reserve fund, payments the amount of which is equal in the aggregate to the amount (if any) to which sub-paragraph (7) below applies or the amount of his special reserve fund, whichever is the less.\n(7) This sub-paragraph applies to any amount which—\n(a) has been paid into the member’s special reserve fund under sub-paragraph (2) or (3) above, but\n(b) would not have been so paid but for the stop-loss payment or (as the case may be) the part repaid.\n(8) Any payments required by sub-paragraph (1), (2), (3) or (6) above shall be made before the end of such period as may be prescribed.",
