Paragraph 4 Permission for a body corporate to cease to be a relevant associate of the opterF1

United Kingdom

(1)

This paragraph applies for the purposes of paragraph 3(5) in relation to a F2person (“P”) who has been a relevant associate of the opter.

(2)

If the conditions specified in the public notice under paragraph 3(5)(a) are met in relation to F3P, P ceases to be a relevant associate of the opter only if notification of those conditions being met is given to the Commissioners.

(3)

The notification must—

(a)

be made in a form specified in a public notice,

(b)

state the day from which F4P is to cease to be a relevant associate of the opter (which may not be before the day on which the notification is given),

(c)

contain a statement by F5P certifying that, on that day, the conditions specified in the public notice under paragraph 3(5)(a) are met in relation to F6P, and

(d)

contain other information specified in a public notice.

(4)

An application for the prior permission of the Commissioners must—

(a)

be made in a form specified in a public notice,

(b)

contain a statement by F7P certifying which (if any) of the conditions specified in the public notice under paragraph 3(5)(a) are met in relation to F8P, and

(c)

contain other information specified in a public notice.

(5)

If F9P gets the prior permission of the Commissioners, F10P ceases to be a relevant associate of the opter from—

(a)

the day on which the Commissioners give their permission, or

(b)

such earlier or later day as they specify in their permission.

(6)

The Commissioners may specify an earlier day only if—

(a)

F11P has purported to give a notification of F12P's ceasing to be a relevant associate of the opter,

(b)

the conditions specified in the public notice are not, in the event, met in relation to F13P, and

(c)

the Commissioners consider that the grounds on which those conditions are not so met are insignificant.

(7)

The day specified may be the day from which F14P would have ceased to be a relevant associate of the opter if those conditions had been so met.

(8)

The Commissioners may specify conditions subject to which their permission is given and, if any of those conditions are broken, they may treat the application as if it had not been made.
