INDUSTRIAL AND PROVIDENT SOCIETIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1969 - SECT 9

Amendment of registered rules.

9.(1) Subject to subsection (2), any amendment of a society's rules as for the
time being registered under this Act shall not be valid until the amendment
has been so registered, for which purpose there shall be sent to the registrar
two copies of the amendment signed

(a)in the case of a society for the time being consisting solely of registered
societies, by the secretary of the society and by two members of the committee
and the secretary of each (or, if more than three, of each of any three) of
the constituent societies;

(b)in any other case, by three members and the secretary of the society.

(2) Subsection (1) shall not apply to a change in the situation of a society's
registered office or in the name of a society; but

(a)notice of any change in the situation of a society's registered office
shall be sent to the registrar; and

(b)where such a notice is duly sent, or where a change in the name of a
registered society is made in accordance with section 5(3), the change in the
situation of the society's registered office or, as the case may be, the
change in the society's name shall be registered by the registrar as an
amendment of the society's rules.

(3) Subject to subsection (6), the registrar, on being satisfied that any
amendment of a society's rules is not contrary to the provisions of this Act,
shall issue to the society in respect of that amendment an acknowledgment of
registration in the prescribed form which shall be conclusive evidence that it
is duly registered.

(4) Notwithstanding anything in the rules of any society, the committee of a
registered society may by resolution passed during the appropriate period
after the passing of this Act make such amendments of the rules of the society
as may be consequential on the provisions of this Act.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (4) the appropriate period after the
passing of this Act, in relation to any society, shall be whichever is the
longer of the following two periods, that is to say

(a)a period of one year beginning with the date of the passing of this Act,
and

(b)a period beginning with the date of the passing of this Act and ending with
the date on which an amendment of the rules of that society is first
registered after that date under subsection (3).

(6) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (3), after the end of one year
beginning with the date of the passing of this Act, the registrar shall not be
required to register any amendment of a society's rules unless such
consequential amendments of the rules of that society as are mentioned in
subsection (4) either have been made before the application for registration
of that amendment or are to be effected by that amendment.
