(b.) Any such restrictions may be in like manner removed or varied
by the Attorney-General.
(c.) No person shall carry on, or be in any manner concerned in
the carrying-on, of any such business in breach of the restrictions so
imposed and for the time being in force.
- The power of the Attorney-General to appoint the Public
Trustee as the Controller of certain companies under the War Regula-
tions of the 25th day of November, 1914, shall extend to the appoint-
ment of the Public Trustee as the Controller of the business of any
company or firm whatsoever, and such power may be exercised
whenever the Attorney-General is satisfied that its exercise is advisable
by reason of the existence of any interest or control possessed or
exercised in or over that business by an enemy, or by an alien
enemy, or by an enemy company. The said regulations of the 25th
day of November, 1914, shall be read and construed accordingly as
if every reference therein to a company was a reference to a
company or firm, and each partner in a firm shall be deemed to be
a servant of the firm within the meaning of the said regulations.
Miscellaneous.

In these regulations, and in all other War Regulations, the
term “person” includes a body corporate so far as such regulations
are capable of application to bodies corporate. -
(a.) Every alien enemy shall, if so required by the Custodian
of Enemy Property, within fourteen days after being so required, give
to the Custodian such particulars as he requires as to all property
of the value of £50 or upwards, whether situated in New Zealand
or elsewhere, which belongs to that alien enemy or in which he is
interested.
(b.) Such particulars shall be in writing verified by the statutory
declaration of the alien enemy by whom the same are given.
(c.) The term “property” includes all money owing or payable to
an alien enemy or to any person on his behalf. -
No owner of a British ship registered in New Zealand, or of
any share in such a ship, shall transfer the ship or any share therein
to any person not qualified to own a British ship. -
These regulations shall be read together with and deemed
part of the War Regulations of the 10th day of November, 1914.
