| 35.1 | If a firm at any time administers and controls its practice as a whole from premises in two or more buildings which, in the opinion of the Council, do not constitute such a single composite entity as is contemplated in the definition of 'main office' in rule 1, the Council may require the firm to declare to it in writing, within a time stipulated by the Council, which one or more of those buildings as may constitute such an entity in the opinion of the Council, contains or contain its main office, and thereafter that firm shall administer and control its practice as a whole from the premises so declared. It is specifically provided, however, that if a firm which has its main office within the area of jurisdiction of the Council of another society establishes more than one branch office within the area of jurisdiction of the Council, that firm must declare to the Council which of such branch offices is to be regarded as its main office within the area of jurisdiction of that Council; and the provisions of this rule 35, changed appropriately, will apply in respect of that office. |
