Paragraph 14: Meaning of “associate”
3284.This paragraph also supplements paragraph 12 of this Schedule. It contains the definition of “associate”; and is in its turn supplemented by paragraphs 15 and 16 of this Schedule. The paragraph derives from sections 187(3) and 417(3) and (4) of ICTA (in the first two cases, parts of those subsections), and continues the pattern of bringing into the main text the ancillary explanations needed to understand the expression “material interest”.
3285.The company in sub-paragraph (1)(c) is identified as the company mentioned in paragraph 11(2) of this Schedule. This is also copied in later paragraphs to which it is relevant. This makes explicit both interpretation and practice, thereby limiting the scope of the definition of associate in the case of a trust or estate. The term “personal representatives” is defined in section 721(1). See Change 159 in Annex 1.
3286.In sub-paragraph (3), the definition of “relative” has been slightly amended.
