The Act Organisational changes affecting registered social landlords Chapter 3 of Part 10 of the 2010 Act
116.As with Chapter 2 of Part 10 of the 2010 Act, the amendments made to Part 8 of the 2010 Act – in particular, to section 104A – make Chapter 3 of Part 10 redundant. Section 124A of the 2010 Act applies Chapter 1 of Part 10 to arrangements under which RSLs will become subsidiaries as it applies to disposals of land. The substantive provisions of section 124A are now, as a result of the amendments in section 7(2) of the Act, in section 104A of the 2010 Act.
117.Section 124B of the 2010 Act currently provides that any failure by the Regulator or an RSL to comply with a provision of Chapter 1 of Part 10 (as applied by section 124A) does not invalidate the Regulator’s consent to the arrangement. Regulator’s consent is no longer required. And the consequences for a failure by the RSL are dealt with by section 104A(2)(b) and (4) (as amended). So section 124B is no longer necessary.
118.Accordingly section 7(3) repeals Chapter 3 of Part 10.
