This Order is the second Commencement Order made under the Building Societies (Funding) and Mutual Societies (Transfers) Act 2007 (c.26) ("the Act"). This Order brings into force section 2 of the Act on 20th November 2014, which inserts section 90B into the Building Societies Act 1986 (c.53). This enables the Treasury by order to ensure that when a building society is being wound up, its assets are applied in satisfying its liabilities to shareholders and to creditors pari passu.
