Companies Act 2014

964

Application of Parts 1 to 14 to DACs

964. (1) The provisions of Parts 1 to 14 apply to a DAC 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 DAC.”.

(3) Subject to subsection (4), the provisions of this Act specified in the Table to this section shall not apply to a DAC.

(4) In relation to a DAC limited by guarantee the non-application of section 32(1) is provided for by section 976 and, accordingly, the entry of that provision in the Table to this section shall (so far as it relates to that type of DAC) be disregarded.

(5) The specification in the foregoing Table of a provision (a “specified provision”) of Parts 1 to 14 also operates to disapply to a DAC 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.
