Section 28: Effect of winding up order on freezing order

111.A freezing order ceases to have an effect when an order made under section 11 of the Pensions Act 1995 (power to wind up schemes) commences. The winding up is taken to begin at the time the freezing order came into effect. The Regulator may order a specified person to take specified steps within a specified period where the Regulator considers the steps are necessary as a result of the winding up of the scheme beginning at that time. Non-compliance with an order attracts a penalty under section 10 of the Pensions Act 1995 (civil penalties).
