Relevant notes from the explanatory memorandum

284. Subsection (1) allows for the Urabba Parks (through persons prescribed by the Parliament) to transfer membership as attorney, or on behalf of a member whose membership is forfeited because of a default of a pledge.  Subsection (2) provides such power is only exercisable under a disposal warrant made by the judicature; and such power is limited to execution of an instrument of transfer of membership and giving effectual receipt for membership sold.

285. Under subsection 4(1) a disposal warrant is issued by or under an expulsion order; a note to this effect is included under subsection (2).  That subsection also provides an expulsion order may only be issued as a result of a conviction, condemnation or failure to do or pay something as required by a judicial order.  As dealing with a person’s membership without their express consent is taken to touch the member’s rights, it is important to impose judicial oversight over such dealings.  

286. Under subsection (3), membership is liable to be sold in the order the disposal warrants are enrolled on the register of members, and then by share numbers.  This to prevent Urabba Parks denying any person whose membership is to be sold proceeds by way of selling membership in another order.  

287. Under subsection (4), bonus upgrades of membership (bonus shares) liable to be sold rank immediately after the membership from which it is derived.  The purpose of this provision is to ensure that shares comprising membership (which include the bonus shares as well as the original shares) are sold together.
