Compulsory transfers
10 Compulsory transfers
The purpose of this section is to facilitate compulsory transfers of business under the FS (TR) Act, part 4 for regulated bodies.
This section applies when a certificate of transfer issued under the FS (TR) Act, section 33 comes into force under that Act, part 4, division 3.
The receiving body is taken to be the successor in law of the transferring body, to the extent of the transfer.
In particular—
if the transfer is a total transfer—all the assets and liabilities of the transferring body become assets and liabilities of the receiving body without any transfer, conveyance or assignment; and
if the transfer is a partial transfer, all the assets and liabilities of the transferring body that are included in the list, referred to in the FS (TR) Act, section 33 (2) (c), included in, or attached to, the certificate of transfer become assets and liabilities of the receiving body without any transfer, conveyance or assignment; and
to the extent of the transfer, the duties, obligations, immunities, rights and privileges applying to the transferring body apply to the receiving body.
If the certificate of transfer includes provisions of a kind referred to in the FS (TR) Act, section 33 (3) specifying—
that particular things are to happen or are taken to be the case, those things are taken to happen, or to be the case, in accordance with those provisions; or
a mechanism for deciding things that are to happen or are taken to be the case, things decided in accordance with that mechanism are taken to happen, or to be the case, as decided in accordance with that mechanism.
If there is an approved section 30 statement in relation to the transfer that specifies—
that particular things are to happen or are taken to be the case, those things are taken to happen, or to be the case, in accordance with the statement; or
a mechanism for deciding things that are to happen or are taken to be the case, things decided in accordance with that mechanism are taken to happen, or to be the case, as decided in accordance with that mechanism.
