companies limited by guarantee do not avoid their

Question 2. What is the effect of Article 17

of the draft?

It is difficult to reconcile the words of Article

-

17 with those of Articles 10 and 14 (1) These

Articles clearly affect the jurisdiction of the

Court over British Companies, and Article 17 says that

nothing in the Order shall do so. When construing

the Articles no doubt the Court would be guided by the

maxim "generalia specialibus non derogant" and hold

that the later general words do not modify Articles

10 and 14 though in the instances given in Maxwell's

"Interpretation of Statutes", where the above MAXIM

is discussed there is none where the general and

special words occur in the same enactment.

I think the meaning is that the Ordinance

applies to all companies and that that with the

Order in Council supplies a complete code for "China"

and "Hongkong" companies, but that as a great deal of

the Order in Council does not apply to British Com-

panies other than China and Hongkong Companies, such

provisions of English law as are modified by the

Order
