REC Sch 2 Notification requirements

REC Sch 2.1G

The following table summarises the notification requirements applicable to all recognised bodies. The notification rules are set out in detail in Notification rules for UK recognised bodies and REC 6.7 and, to avoid unnecessary repetition, are not set out in detail here. The notification rules for RAPs differ in some respects from the notification rules for UK RIEs (for example, due to requirements contained in the auction regulation).3

For completeness, summary details of the main notification requirements in the Act itself and the Companies Act 1989 are also included in the table. The summary of these statutory provisions here should not be taken to imply that these are obligations imposed by the FSA under its powers nor that the following summary supersedes or alters the meaning of these provisions.

Guidance on the statutory notification requirements for overseas recognised bodies is given in REC 6.6.
