Securities and Futures Act 2001 s 81SP

s 81SP No rectification of Depository Register

81SP.—(1) Despite anything in the Companies Act 1967 or any written law or rule of law, no order may be made by the Court for rectification of the Depository Register; except that where the Court is satisfied that —(a) a depositor did not consent to a transfer of the book‑entry securities; or (b) a depositor should not have been registered in the Depository Register as having title to the book‑entry securities, the Court may award damages to the firstmentioned depositor or to any person who would have been entitled to be registered in the Depository Register as having title to the book‑entry securities (as the case may be) on such terms as the Court thinks to be equitable or make such other order as the Court thinks fit including an order for the transfer of book‑entry securities to such depositor or person. [36/2014] (2) Where provisions exist in the constitution of a corporation that entitle a corporation to refuse registration of a transfer of book‑entry securities, the corporation may in relation to any transfer to which it objects, notify the Depository in writing of its refusal before the transfer takes place and provide the Depository with the facts upon which such refusal is considered to be justified.[36/2014] (3) Where the Depository has had prior notice of the corporation’s refusal under subsection (2) (but not otherwise), the Depository must refuse to effect the transfer and to enter the name of the transferee in the Depository Register and thereupon convey the facts upon which such refusal is considered to be justified to the transferee.[36/2014] (4) Section 130AB of the Companies Act 1967 does not apply to any refusal to register a transfer under subsections (2) and (3).[36/2014]
