The purpose of this section is to facilitate compulsory transfers of business under Part 4 of the FS(BTGR) Act for regulated bodies.

This section applies when a certificate of transfer issued under section 33 of the FS(BTGR) Act comes into force under Division 3 of Part 4 of that Act.

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 partial transfer – all the assets and liabilities of the transferring body that are included in the list, mentioned in section 33(2)(c) of the FS(BTGR) Act, included in, or attached to, the certificate of transfer become respectively 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 mentioned in section 33(3) of the FS(BTGR) Act 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 determining things that are to happen or are taken to be the case, things determined in accordance with that mechanism are taken to happen, or to be the case, as determined 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 determining things that are to happen or are taken to be the case, things determined in accordance with that mechanism are taken to happen, or to be the case, as determined in accordance with that mechanism.
