INDUSTRIAL AND PROVIDENT SOCIETIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1969 - SECT 16

Suspension of registration of society.

16.(1) Where under section 15(1)(c) the registrar might with the approval of
the Ministry cancel the registration of a registered society, he may, by
writing under his hand

(a)subject to subsection (3), suspend the registration of that society for any
term not exceeding three months; and

(b)with the approval of the Ministry, but subject to section 17(1)(d), from
time to time renew any such suspension for the like period.

(2) Where before the expiration of the period of a notice under section 15(3)
of the proposed cancellation of a society's registration, that society duly
lodges an appeal from the proposed cancellation under section 17(1)(c), the
registrar may by writing under his hand suspend the society's registration
from the expiration of that period until the date of the determination or
abandonment of the appeal.

(3) Not less than two months previous notice in writing specifying briefly the
ground of the proposed suspension shall be given by the registrar to a society
before its registration is suspended under subsection (1)(a).

(4) Notice of every suspension of a society's registration under subsection
(1)(a) or (2) and of any renewal of a suspension under subsection (1)(b)
shall, as soon as practicable after it takes place, be published in the
Belfast Gazette and in any other manner which the registrar considers
necessary for bringing the suspension to the notice of persons affected
thereby.

(5) From the date of the publication in the Belfast Gazette of a notice under
subsection (4) of the suspension of any society's registration under
subsection (1)(a) or (2) until the period of that suspension and any renewal
thereof under subsection (1)(b) ends (whether on the expiration of that period
or on a sucessful appeal under section 17(1)(d) from such a renewal) the
society shall not be entitled to any of the privileges of this Act as a
registered society, but without prejudice to any liability actually incurred
by the society which may be enforced against it as if the suspension had not
taken place.
