Delivery to the Registrar of documents in legible form.

103.—(1) This section applies to the delivery to the Registrar under any provision of this Act of documents in legible form.

(2) The document must—

(a) state in a prominent position the registered number of the credit union to which it relates,

(b) satisfy any requirements specified by the Registrar for the purposes of this section as to the form and content of the document, and

(c) conform to such requirements as may be so specified for the purpose of enabling the Registrar to copy the document.

(3) If a document is delivered to the Registrar which does not comply with the requirements of this section, he may serve on the person by whom the document was delivered (or, if there are two or more persons, on any of them) a notice indicating the respect in which the document does not comply.

(4) Except with the consent of the Minister, the Registrar may not serve a notice under subsection (3) after the expiry of three months from the date on which he receives the document to which the notice relates.

(5) Where the Registrar serves notice under subsection (3), then, unless a replacement document—

(a) is delivered to him within 28 days after the service of the notice, and

(b) complies with the requirement of this section or is not rejected by him for failure to comply with those requirements,

the original document shall be deemed not to have been delivered to him.

(6) For the purposes of any provision imposing a penalty for failure to deliver a document, so far as it imposes a penalty for continued contravention, no account shall be taken of the period between the delivery of the original document and the end of the period of 28 days after the service of the Registrar's notice under subsection (3).

(7) In this section, “document” includes any periodic account, abstract, statement or return required to be delivered to the Registrar.
