the winding up under the Principal Ordinance will not result in any such discharge. Accordingly, refusal under the proposed Ordinance to allow an action to be brought would not determine the remedies of the creditor against the alien euemy.
It is also provided that the requirement of the Gover- nor's permission shall apply to actions brought directly against alien enemies whose affairs are being wound up, or whose affairs it is expedient should be wound up, as well as to actions brought against their liquidators.
On the other hand it is proposed that liquidators must obtain the permission of the Governor before beginning any legal proceeding in respect of the winding up, so that the permission of the Governor will be required for actions by liquidators as well as for actions against liquidators.
Another object of the Bill is to provide expressly that actions against liquidators shall bind the alien enemies whose affairs are being wound up.
The Bill also gives the Court power to stay actions against liquidators or against alien enemies where the interests of justice seem to require that such should bẹ done on account of the impossibility of obtaining proper instructions owing to the existence of a state of war.
It also confers on liquidators the right, with the permis- sion of the Governor, to apply to the Court for directions. on any matter arising out of the winding up.
It also gives power to the Governor to allow liquidators to discharge liabilities incurred outside the Colony. It is not intended that this power if given should be exercised to the prejudice of the discharge of liabilities incurred in the Colony.
The Bill also provides that the assets realised or brought to credit by the liquidators shall include credit balances at banks or in the hands of compradores, but it gives the Governor discretion to determine whether any remuneration shall be drawn on any such balances.
It also provides that liquidators must not sell any good- will or trade marks without permission.
