Section 14 of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (CCBSA 2014) The statute requires that a Co-operative and Community Benefit Society’s rules set out how members are admitted. In a CCBS, individuals who hold shares (often described as ‘shareholders’) are not ‘appointed’; rather, they gain membership under the society’s own rules, which are established by its directors. While CCBSA 2014 imposes no statutory limits on admitting members, the society’s rulebook should be reviewed, as it typically contains specific provisions governing the process for bringing new members into the society. For more information, refer to Practice Note: Co-operative and community benefit societies. Those provisions are set by the board and are applied when assessing membership applications received...
