CAP. 332]

Trade Unions

[1989 Ed.

(2) Any voting member of a trade union the registration of which has been cancelled who considers that the cancellation of its registration was wrong in that, as the case may be--

(a) notice was not given by the Registrar in accordance with section 11;

(b) the trade union had not requested cancellation of its registration;

(c) the trade union had not ceased to exist,

may, within 14 days after the cancellation of its registration, appeal to the High Court, which may, if it finds that the cancellation of the registration of the trade union was wrong as aforesaid, so declare and thereupon the Registrar shall restore the registration of the trade union, but, save as hereinbefore provided, the appeal shall be dismissed. (Amended 15 of 1971 s. 8)

13. Effect of registration

The registration of a trade union shall render it a body corporate by the name under which it is registered, and, subject to the provisions of this Ordinance, with perpetual succession and with power to hold property movable or immovable and to enter into contracts, to institute and defend suits and other legal proceedings and to do all things necessary for the purposes of its constitution.

14. Effect of cancellation of registration

(1) Save where, under subsection (2), the cancellation of the registration of a trade union does not take effect immediately in which case this subsection shall apply when the cancellation takes effect for the purposes thereof, a trade union whose registration has been cancelled under this Ordinance shall in addition to any other disability---

(a) cease to exist as a corporate body, and the Registrar may, notwithstanding anything contained in the rules of such trade union, forthwith appoint one or more persons to be liquidators thereof;

(b) cease to enjoy any of the rights, immunities or privileges of a registered trade union, but without prejudice to any liability incurred by the trade union, which may be enforced against the trade union or its assets, whether such liability is incurred before, on or after the date of the cancellation of registration;

(c) forthwith be dissolved and no person shall, except for the purpose of defending proceedings against the trade union or of dissolving it and disposing of its funds in accordance with the rules thereof and the provisions of this Ordinance, take any part in its management or organization or act or purport to act on behalf of the trade union or as an officer thereof.
