  (1)   This section applies if:

  (a)   the Commissioner removes or suspends a responsible entity of a registered entity at a time; and

  (b)   at that time, the registered entity is a federally regulated entity to which paragraph   205 - 15(b) (a trust, all of the trustees of which are constitutional corporations) applies, and to which no other paragraph in section   205 - 15 applies; and

  (c)   just before that time, the responsible entity was:

  (i)   a corporation to which paragraph   51(xx) of the Constitution applied; or

  (ii)   a body corporate that was incorporated in a Territory.

  (2)   Subject to subsection   (3), the Commissioner must not appoint a person as an acting responsible entity of the registered entity unless the person meets whichever of the following requirements is applicable:

  (b)   in a case to which only subparagraph   (1)(c)(i) applies--the person is a corporation to which paragraph   51(xx) of the Constitution applies;

  (c)   in a case to which only subparagraph   (1)(c)(ii) applies--the person is a body corporate that is incorporated in that Territory.

  (3)   The Commissioner may appoint a person that does not meet the requirement in subsection   (2) as an acting responsible entity of the registered entity under section   100 - 30 if it is not practical for the Commissioner to appoint a person that does meet that requirement.

  (4)   If the Commissioner appoints a person that does not meet the requirement in subsection   (2) as an acting responsible entity in accordance with subsection   (3) at a time:

  (a)   the person cannot act as a responsible entity under section   100 - 30 for longer than 6 months; and
