Corporations Regulations 2001

The SEGC must allow a claim if the SEGC is satisfied that regulation 7.5.54 or 7.5.55 entitles the claimant to make the claim.

If the SEGC allows the claim, and the claimant has, as a result of the unauthorised execution, ceased to hold some or all of the transferred securities, the SEGC must:

subject to paragraph (b), supply to the claimant securities of the same kind and number as those of the transferred securities that the claimant has so ceased to hold; or

if the SEGC is satisfied that it is not practicable for the SEGC to obtain such securities, or to obtain such securities within a reasonable time—pay to the claimant the amount that, as at the time when the SEGC decides that it is so satisfied, is the actual pecuniary loss suffered by the claimant, in respect of the transferred securities, as a result of the unauthorised execution (other than loss suffered as mentioned in subregulation (3)).

If the SEGC allows the claim, it must pay to the claimant the amount that, as at the time when the claim is allowed, or when the SEGC decides as mentioned in paragraph (2)(b), as the case requires, is the actual pecuniary loss suffered by the claimant, as a result of the unauthorised execution, in respect of payments or other benefits:

in any case—to which the claimant would have become entitled, as the holder of such of the transferred securities as the claimant has, as a result of the unauthorised execution, ceased to hold, if the claimant had continued to hold the securities concerned until that time; or

if the claim was made under regulation 7.5.55—that the claimant has received as holder of any of the transferred securities.

For this regulation, if securities are purportedly transferred from a person to another person, the first‑mentioned person is taken to cease to hold, and the other person is taken to hold, the securities even if the other person did not by virtue of the transfer get a good title to the securities.
