back to previous text
 
Exercise of powers through Council.     288. - (1) The Authority may, instead of exercising a power conferred on it by section 286, direct the Society (acting through the Council) to exercise a power of its own with a view to bringing about the result intended by the Authority.
 
      (2) A direction may also be given under subsection (1) in respect of managing agents or members' agents as if they were among the persons mentioned in section 286(1).
 
      (3) A direction under this section-
 
 
    (a) does not, at any time, prevent the exercise by the Authority of any of its powers;
 
    (b) is subject to the same requirements as are applied to an insurance market direction by section 286(4).
 
Former underwriting members
Former underwriting members.     289. - (1) "A former underwriting member" means a person ceasing to be an underwriting member of the Society on, or at any time after, 24 December 1996.
 
      (2) A former underwriting member is an authorised person.
 
      (3) Section 30 applies to a former underwriting member as if he were authorised as a result of a Part IV permission.
 
      (4) A former underwriting member-
 
 
    (a) has permission to carry out each contract of insurance that he has underwritten at Lloyd's (without that affecting his right to make an application under Part IV); but
 
    (b) need be issued with a certificate of authorisation only if he receives an additional permission under Part IV.
 
Supplemental
Interpretation of this Part.     290. - (1) In this Part-
