Registration of Companies.
The name of the company, with the addition of the word "Limited" as the last word thereof:
With the addition, in the case of a company intended to be registered as a company limited by guarantee, of the resolution declaring the amount of the guarantee.
6. Previously to the registration in pursuance of this Ordinance of any company not being a joint-stock company there shall be delivered to the Registrar a list shewing the names, addresses, and occupations of the directors or other managers (if any) of the company, also a copy of any Ordinance, letters patent, deed of settlement, contract of copartnery or other instrument constituting or regulating the company, with the addition, in the case of a company intended to be registered as a company limited by guarantee, of the resolution declaring the amount of guarantee.
7. Where a joint-stock company authorized to register in pursuance of this Ordinance has had the whole or any portion of its capital converted into stock, such company shall, as to the capital so converted, instead of delivering to the Registrar a statement of shares, deliver to the Registrar a statement of the amount of stock belonging to the company and the names of the persons who were holders of such stock, on some day to be named in the statement, not more than six clear days before the day of registra-tion.
8. The lists of members and directors and any other particulars relating to the company hereby required to be delivered to the Registrar shall be verified by a declaration of the directors of the company delivering the same, or any two of them, or of any two other principal officers of the company, made in pursuance of the Act, 5 and 6 Will. 4 c. 62 (Imperial).
9. The Registrar may require such evidence as he thinks necessary for the purpose of satisfying himself whether an existing company is or not a joint-stock company as herein before defined.
10. No fees shall be charged in respect of the registration in pursuance of this Ordinance of any company in cases where such company is not registered as a limited company, or where previously to its being registered as a limited company, the liability of the shareholders was limited by some other Ordinance or by letters patent.
