12. Appeals in relation to cancellation by Registrar
of registration of trade union

(a) the certificate of registration of the trade union was not obtained by fraud or mistake;
(b) the registration of the trade union has not become void under the proviso to section 6(1);
(c) the trade union was not being used, nor has at any time since its registration been used, for any unlawful purpose or for any purpose inconsistent with its objects or rules;
(d) the trade union has not wilfully and after notice in writing from the Registrar contravened this Ordinance nor allowed any rule which is inconsistent with this Ordinance to continue in force nor rescinded any rule providing for any matter for which provision is required by section 18;
(e) the funds of the trade union have not been expended in any way specified in section 10(1)(b)(v);
(f) any such funds as are specified in section 10(1)(b)(vi) have not wilfully and after notice in writing from the Registrar requiring the same to be entered in the accounts of the trade union been omitted from such accounts,
may, within 28 days after the service of such notice upon the trade union, appeal to the High Court, which may, if it finds that the Registrar is not entitled as aforesaid to cancel the registration of the trade union, so declare, but, save as hereinbefore provided, the appeal shall be dismissed.
