EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This is not a part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

This Order commences paragraphs (i) and (j) of section 3 and section 5 of the Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 .

These sections provide for a mechanism whereby certain collective investment fund entities currently based in relevant jurisdictions can migrate their registered offices into Ireland without firstly having to wind up in their current jurisdiction. A parallel outward migration mechanism is also provided for.

The sections also give the Minister power to prescribe “relevant jurisdictions” for the purposes of such migration.
