201.This section enables parties to a transfer of business involving accepting deposits to apply to the court for an order sanctioning the transfer.  Subsection (1) applies the arrangements under this part to transfers of the business of authorised persons domiciled in the United Kingdom with permission to accept deposits, wherever the business is carried on.  It also applies the arrangements where an overseas firm carrying on banking business in the United Kingdom transfers its business to another firm.  However, the arrangements do not apply to transfers from building societies (for which separate arrangements exist under the Building Societies Act 1986) or credit unions or transfers falling within section 427A of the Companies Act.
