Chapter IV : Custody and Administration of Securities

General provisions relating to custody and administration of securities

41. Ownership of securities

 

(1) Where securities of any kind are deposited with a participant or with a central securities depository, or accrue to the owner of securities held by a participant in a securities repository or by a central securities depository in a central securities repository, the person who was the owner of the securities at the time of deposit or accrual becomes entitled to an interest as co-owner of all the securities of the same kind comprised in the securities repository or central securities repository, as the case may be.

 

(2) In so far as any limited right exists in respect of any securities at the time of such deposit or accrual, such limited right extends to the interest of such co-owner and to any securities delivered to that co-owner.

 

(3) The interest of a co-owner, client or participant in all the securities in a securities repository or central securities repository, as the case may be, must be calculated by reference to the proportion that the number or nominal value of securities deposited by or on behalf of that co-owner, client or participant and accruing to such securities, bears from time to time to the total number or nominal value of all securities of that kind held in the securities repository or central securities repository, as the case may be.

 

(4) A written statement issued by or on behalf of a participant in respect of an owner of securities or of a client, or by or on behalf of a central securities depository in respect of a participant, as the case may be, and specifying the interest of that owner, client or participant, is prima facie evidence of the title or interest of that person in such securities.
