(b.) No person having knowledge of such prohibition shall be concerned in the exportation or attempted exportation of such goods in breach of the prohibition.

(c.) In this regulation the term “consignee” includes any person for whom goods are destined, whether immediately or ultimately.

  1. The First Schedule to the War Regulations of the 26th day of January, 1915, containing a form of Declaration of Ultimate Destination of goods exported to places other than British territory, is hereby amended by inserting after paragraph (3) of that declaration the following paragraph:—

“4. The said goods are being exported for ultimate delivery to [Here set out the name and address of the real purchaser or other person for whom the goods are intended by the exporter].”

  1. (a.) If the Attorney-General is satisfied that any person is carrying on business in New Zealand in the name of an enemy, or otherwise uses in connection with his business any name, style, designation, or description calculated to lead the public to believe that the business is that of an enemy or that an enemy has any interest therein or any connection therewith, the Attorney-General may by notice to that person prohibit the use in connection with his business of such name, style, designation, or description.

(b.) No person shall in breach of such prohibition use in connection with his business the name, style, designation, or description so prohibited.

  1. It shall not be lawful for the Registrar of Companies or for any Assistant Registrar of Companies to issue a certificate of the incorporation of any company under the Companies Act, 1908, until and unless the Attorney-General, being satisfied that no enemy and no enemy company and no alien enemy (other than one who is also a natural-born British subject) possesses or is about to acquire any interest, whether legal or equitable, in that company, authorizes the issue of such certificate.

  2. It shall not be lawful for any company incorporated elsewhere than in New Zealand, and not lawfully carrying on business in New Zealand at the date of the coming into operation of these regulations, to commence to carry on business in New Zealand until and unless the Attorney-General, being satisfied that no enemy and no enemy company and no alien enemy (other than one who is also a natural-born British subject) possesses or exercises or is about to possess or exercise any substantial interest or control in or over that company, issues to that company a license to carry on business in New Zealand.

  3. (a.) It shall not be lawful for any alien enemy (other than one who is also a natural-born British subject) to carry on business in New Zealand, unless he is already resident or carrying on business in New Zealand at the date of the coming into operation of these regulations.

(b.) It shall not be lawful for any person to act as the agent, servant, partner, or otherwise on behalf of an alien enemy (other than one who is also a natural-born British subject) in respect of any business carried on by him in New Zealand, unless that alien enemy was resident or carrying on business in New Zealand at the date of the coming into operation of these regulations.

  1. It shall not be lawful for any enemy or for any alien enemy (other than one who is also a natural-born British subject) to acquire, whether at law or in equity, any shares, debentures, or debenture stock in any company incorporated in New Zealand, nor shall it be lawful for any such company or for any officer thereof to register, record, recognize, or be otherwise concerned in the acquisition, whether in New Zealand or elsewhere, of any such shares, debentures, or debenture stock by any such enemy or alien enemy; provided that nothing in this regulation shall extend to any acquisition by way of testamentary or intestate succession.

  2. (a.) When the Attorney-General is satisfied, with respect to any business carried on in New Zealand, that it is being carried on wholly or partially by or on behalf of or under the control or management of an enemy, or an enemy company, or an alien enemy, the Attorney-General may by notice to any person by whom such business is being carried on or managed in New Zealand, or to the agent, attorney, or representative in New Zealand of any such person, impose such restrictions as he thinks fit upon the scope or nature of that business or upon the mode of carrying it on.
