Registration of adoption societies.
|
36.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, the Board shall enter in the register any body of persons which applies to be registered and furnishes to the Board such information as the Board may think necessary to enable it to determine if the body is entitled to be registered.
|
|
| |
(2) The Board shall not register any body of persons unless the Board is satisfied—
|
|
| |
(a) that the body is one which exists only for the purpose of promoting charitable, benevolent or philanthropic objects, whether or not any such object is charitable within the meaning of any rule of law, and
|
|
| |
(b) that the body is competent to discharge the obligations imposed upon registered adoption societies under this Act.
|
|
| |
(3) The Board may refuse to register any body of persons if it appears to the Board that any person who takes part in the management or control of the body or who is engaged on its behalf in connection with the making of arrangements for adoption is not a fit and proper person to act.
