Limit on representative for defunct institution or lone institution (2) A person must not: (a) agree to be; or (b) become; or (c) be; the representative for a participating defunct institution or a participating lone institution if the person is, or proposes to become: (d) a participating incorporated lone institution with a representative; or (e) a member of a participating group with a representative for the group other than the person.

Empowering provisions (4) This section is for the purposes of paragraph 179(2)(d) of the Act. (5) Subsection (2) of this section also has effect for the purposes of paragraph 115(3)(f) of the Act (which affects whether the defunct institution or lone institution may be declared to be a participating institution and therefore whether the person must, under section 119 or 126 of the Act, be declared to be the representative for the institution if it is defunct or an unincorporated lone institution).
