217ZB. Recovery of financial assistance under section 217ZA

(1) The compensation scheme may make provision giving the scheme manager a right of recovery in respect of financial assistance given to an insurer by virtue of section 217ZA.

(2) Any right of recovery the scheme manager has in respect of financial assistance given to an insurer by virtue of subsection (1) must not be exercised against a policyholder of the insurer.

(3) Subsection (4) applies where, by virtue of subsection (1), the scheme manager has a right of recovery in respect of financial assistance given to an insurer.

(4) In valuing the insurer's liabilities for the purposes of a relevant insolvency provision, no account is to be taken of any expectation that the right will be exercised.

(5) In subsection (4), "relevant insolvency provision" has the same meaning as in paragraph 9 of Schedule 19B (treatment of written-down liabilities for purposes of relevant insolvency provisions).
