Draft Bill

The "Gazette" contains the draft of an Ordinance to amend further the Companies Ordinance, 1932..

It is explained that Section 251 (1) of the principal, Companies Ordinance, No: 39 of 1932, con- tathed a paragraph which provid ed that in a winding up all local rates due from the company at the relevant date, and having become due and payable within twelve months next before that dace should be given a certain priority, That paragraph and two others giving priority to certain wages, were repealed and replaced by 'three new paragraphs which were enacted by section-6 of Ordinance No. 29 of 1933.

The reason for that amendment was to make the priorities of \debtš in the case of companies in liquidation coincide with those provided by section 38 (1) of the Bankruptcy Ordinance. No. 10 of 1931), for ordinary bankruptcies amandment to this effect having been suggested by the Secretary of State in the final paragraph of His despatch to the Governor of the 1st June, 1933. Consequently for the paragraph relating to local rases there was substituted a paragraph giving to priority to all debts due from the Company to the Crown at the relevant date. and having become due and pay- able within twelve months next I before thật đặt

* Kaca: 2′′- No. 215 2500153

The object of this new amend- ing Bill is to add a further para- graph which will restored the former priority of local rates in the case of China Companies and Hong Kong China Companies, which are defined in section 348 oft the principal Ordinance.

This special provision is limited to China Companies and Hong Kong China Companies. Such companies, though registered In Hong Kong, carry on their bust- ness within the limits of the China Order-in-Council and, for "reasons of jurisdiction and otherwise, re- ceive special treatment under the Companies Ordinance.

It is not considered necessary to extend the special priority" to

companies generally or to ordinary bankruptcies, as it does not appear

to be in accordance with✨ the general policy of English law, on which the law of the Colony Is founded, to afford special facilities for the enforcément of rates im-. posed by foreign municipalities for their domestic: purposes.

The introduction of this Bill has been approved by the Secretary of State in his despatch No. 5 of the 8th January, 1936.
