# The Friendly Societies Act 1992 (Modification of Part 2) (Northern Ireland) Order 2017, Introduction: Introductory text


Friendly Societies, Northern Ireland
Made 11th September 2017
Laid before Parliament 12th September 2017
Coming into force 3rd October 2017
Part 12 of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 has been modified by the Insolvency (Amendment) Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
For the purpose of assimilating the law relating to the winding up of friendly societies in Northern Ireland to the law relating to the winding up of companies in Northern Ireland as so modified, it appears to the Treasury to be expedient to modify so much of Part 2 of the Friendly Societies Act 1992 as relates to winding up in Northern Ireland.
The Treasury think it is appropriate for that purpose to make the modifications contained in article 2, and, accordingly, make this Order in exercise of the power conferred by section 102(1), (2)(a) and (5) of the Friendly Societies Act 1992.
