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enactments repealed by the Ordinance.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.
