REPORT ON ORDINANCE No

of 193 2.

1.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance. intituled an
Ordinance to consolidate and amend the law relating to
Companies, and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one
which is not contrary to the Governor's instructions.
2.
This Ordinance enacts, with effect from the first
of July, 1933, the provisions of the Companies Act, 1929,
so far as they are applicable to local circumstances; and,
to facilitate reference to text-books and cases on the
Act, the corresponding section of the Act is given in the
marginal note to the various sections.
3.
In certain sections, however, it has been necessary
to incorporate special local provisions taken from the
enactments repealed by the Ordinance.
4.
Thus it has been necessary to include provision
for China companies within the limits of the China Orders
in Council in sections 4, 19, 21, 33, 34, 79, 81, 92, 93,
103, 133, 174, 215, 275, 277, 279, 348, 349, 350, 351 and
352.
