Schedule 14, paragraph 6

The appropriate national authority may by regulations provide for any provision that would (but for the regulations) have the effect mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) to be read as if instead it had (and always had had) the effect mentioned in sub-paragraph (3). The effect is that of imposing on a qualifying body a duty to hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting during a period (“the overlapping period”) that overlaps to any extent with the relevant period. The effect is that of imposing on the qualifying body a duty to hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting during a period that— begins with the overlapping period, and ends with such period immediately following the end of the overlapping period as is specified in the regulations. A period specified in regulations for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(b) must not exceed 8 months. Regulations under this paragraph may— make different provision for different purposes; make consequential, incidental or supplementary provision (including provision disapplying or modifying a provision of an enactment); make transitional provision or savings. In sub-paragraph (1) the reference to “any provision” is a reference to any provision of an enactment or of the constitution or rules of a qualifying body. In this paragraph “the appropriate national authority” has the same meaning as in paragraph 4. In the application of this paragraph in relation to a public company, the references to a duty to hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting are to be read as including a reference to a duty to hold an accounts meeting.
