1173. (1) The provisions of Parts 1 to 14 apply to a CLG except to the extent that they are disapplied or modified by—

(a) this section, or

(b) any other provision of this Part.

(2) For the purposes of that application, section 10 (1) shall have effect as if it read—

“(1) Unless expressly provided otherwise, a reference in Parts 2 to 14 to a company is a reference to a CLG.”.

(3) Any of Parts 1 to 14 that makes provision by reference to—

(a) membership arising by virtue of a shareholding, or

(b) right or incidents of membership, including the right to vote or receive a distribution, arising by virtue of a shareholding,

shall be read, in the case of a CLG, as making such provision in the analogous context in which membership, or rights or incidents of membership, may arise in the case of a CLG.

(4) Subsection (3) is without prejudice to the generality of the application and adaptation of Parts 1 to 14 provided by subsections (1) and (2) or any specific adaptation provided by a subsequent section of this Part.

(5) The provisions of this Act specified in the Table to this section shall not apply to a CLG.

(6) The specification in the foregoing Table of a provision (a “specified provision”) of Parts 1 to 14 also operates to disapply to a CLG any other provision of those Parts (notwithstanding that it is not specified in that Table) that makes consequential, incidental or supplemental provision on, or in relation to, the specified provision.
