Compiled text (Section 94 - Distribution of surplus)

(1)    In winding-up, the liquidator is to have as much regard as practicable to the legal rights of the membership in relation to the making of charity distributions.

(a)    the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the members comprising the giving pool, make charity distributions in respect of any or all of those members;

(b)    for any amount not distributed under paragraph (a) the liquidator may, with the sanction of a preferential vote of the members comprising the giving pool and whose legal rights are not fully satisfied by charity distributions made under that paragraph, make charity distributions in respect of all of those members; and

(c)    unless otherwise agreed by a member, in no circumstances shall a member be required to nominate for charity distribution securities of which there is a liability.

Relevant notes from the explanatory memorandum

241. This section provides for the rights of members in giving pools that are constituted upon winding up where the legal rights in respect of membership cannot be satisfied.  For example, a giving pool could be constituted under this section because there could be non-cash assets left in the associations and Consolidated Revenue Fund that need to be divided up among charities chosen by members.  Members shall have a preferential vote on the distribution of the assets remaining in the giving pool following a special resolution on the division of these assets.  A charity is not required to accept any securities of which there is a liability.  This section clarifies the process in finalising the distribution of surplus assets among charities.
