Regulation 2 Power to make nominations

Subject to the provisions of these Regulations a member of a trade union being a person who has attained the age of 16 years may nominate any person to receive the whole or part of any moneys not exceeding £1,500 payable on his death out of any funds of the trade union of which he is a member.

Every nomination shall be made in writing in a form approved by the trade union, and shall be signed by the nominator.

A nomination shall be of no effect unless it is delivered at or sent to the principal office of the trade union during the lifetime of the nominator.

The trade union shall register every nomination and notify the registration to the nominator.

A nomination may be in favour of one person or of several persons (who shall be clearly designated in the nomination) and, where there is more than one nominee, may direct that specific sums be paid to one or more of the nominees or that the nominees shall take the money nominated in specified shares, or may give directions to both effects.

A nomination shall not be valid in respect of any nominee who at the date of the nomination is an officer or employee of the trade union unless that person is the husband, wife, father, mother, child, brother, sister, nephew or niece of the nominator.
