Companies Amendment Bill 2010
29 July 2010

The Companies Act 2010 became an act on 9 April 2009. However "sections of the Act were found to be imbued with errors, while some of the regulations were considered ultra vires (beyond the powers), due to their not empowering provisions in the Act, nor enabling the Minister to issue them in order to achieve the Act's objectives. Amendments were thus required to rectify these provisions and ensure improved administration of the Act, hence the publication of the Companies Amendment Bill, 2010".

 

The Bill is available here for download.
