Re Section 145 of the Companies 'Act 1929

Correspondents of ours in Hongkong write to us that a new

Companies' Ordinance has recently been passed by the Hongkong

Legislature, and that the above Section of the English Companies

Act has been incorporated, with the exception that application must

be made for exemption to the Court instead of to the Board of Trade.

Our Correspondents inform us that they have a number of

clients who will probably require exemption but that before they

nake application to the Court they would like to be supplied with

information as to the procedure in England and the grounds upon

which the Board will grant exemption.

We shall be much obliged therefore if you will kindly send

us any forms necessary in connection with an application for

exemption, together with any instructions or directions issued by

the Board, the grounds on which it is granted, and the conditions,

if any, imposed upon Companies when exemption is granted, and

generally any information upon the matter.

The Secretary,

Board of Trade,
