Model rules

45. Model rules



(1) Model rules for a society shall be prescribed by regulation.

(2) A society which is to be registered under this Act, or which is registered
thereunder, may adopt as its rules all or any of the model rules.

(3) Where a society is formed under this Act, in so far as any rules tendered
for registration are not inconsistent with or do not exclude or modify the
model rules as then in force, such model rules shall be deemed to form part of
the rules of the society in the same manner and to the same extent as if they
were contained in the rules tendered and registered.

(4) No alteration of the model rules shall apply to any society which is
established before the regulation prescribing the alteration comes into
operation, unless the society by special resolution adopts the alteration in
its rules.
