BUILDING SOCIETIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1967 - SECT 63

Duty to keep register.

63.(1) At any time

(a)when an order is in force with respect to a building society under
section 48 of this Act, or under section 8 of the Building Societies Act
(Northern Ireland) 1964; or

(b)when a written request to withdraw any share in a building society has been
given to the society more than six months previously, and the society has
(whether in reliance on a provision in the rules of the society or otherwise)
not yet complied with the request; or

(c)in the twelve months following a financial year in which the holders of
shares in a building society did not become entitled to any interest or
dividend on their shares,

(2) If, at any time not falling within any of paragraphs (a) to (c) of
subsection (1), a member of a building society makes a written application to
the registrar for the right to obtain names and addresses from the register,
the registrar, if satisfied that the applicant requires that right for the
purpose of communicating with members of the society on a subject relating to
its affairs, and having regard to the interests of the members as a whole and
to all the other circumstances, may direct that the applicant shall have the
right to obtain from the register the names and addresses of the members for
the purpose of communicating with them on such a subject.

(3) Any direction under subsection (2) may be given subject to such
limitations or conditions as the registrar may think fit.

(4) Before giving a direction under this section, the registrar shall give
particulars of the application to the building society, and shall afford the
society an opportunity of making representations with respect to the
application; and the registrar shall, if the applicant or the society so
requests, afford to the applicant and to the society an opportunity of being
heard by him.

(5) A member entitled under this section to obtain the names of members of a
building society may apply in writing to the society, describing in the
application the subject on which he proposes to communicate with other members
of the society; and the society shall give him all necessary information as to
the place or places where the register or part of it is kept, and reasonable
facilities for inspecting the register and taking a copy of any names and
addresses in the register.

(6) A building society shall not be obliged to disclose to a member making an
application under this section any particulars contained in the register other
than the names of the members and their addresses, and may construct the
register in such a way that it is possible to open the names and addresses to
inspection without exposing any such other particulars.
