This legislation has been repealed.
(1) If the registrar appoints directors of a cooperative under section 327 (Termination of appointment of administrator), the registrar may, by notice given to the cooperative, specify—
(a) a time during which this section is to apply in relation to the cooperative; and
(b) the conditions on which all or any of the directors hold office; and
(c) the rules that are to be the cooperative's rules.
(2) While this section applies to a cooperative, the registrar may, in writing—
(a) remove and appoint directors; and
(b) vary, revoke or specify new conditions in place of all or any of the conditions specified under subsection (1); and
(c) amend all or any of the rules specified under subsection (1).
(3) The registrar may, by notice given to a cooperative, extend the time for which this section is to apply to the cooperative.
(4) A rule specified by the registrar under this section as a rule of a cooperative—
(a) is not to be altered except in the way set out in this section; and
(b) if it is inconsistent with any other rule of the cooperative—prevails over the other rule, and the other rule is invalid to the extent of the inconsistency; and
(c) has the same evidentiary value as the cooperative's rules (and copies of them) have under this Act.
