CHARTABLE TRUST ACT 1957

NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF SCHEME

NOTICE is hereby given that the trustees of the St. Paul’s Wellington Rebuilding Fund Trust Board have filed in the office of the Supreme Court at Wellington an application for approval of a scheme to allow the trustees to apply the trust fund towards erecting and completing the cathedral church of St. Paul’s and prescribing or varying the mode of administration of the trust. At present an undefinable proportion of the trust fund is held under the terms of the will of the late David Anderson, which will restricts the sum of $5,000.00 bequeathed to the Trust Board to be used for the erection of a parish church on the Mulgrave Street site now known as “Old Saint Paul’s”. The scheme would modify this by permitting the fund to be used for the completion of the cathedral on the Molesworth Street site.

Copies of the scheme and the report of the Attorney-General thereon may be inspected free of charge at the office of the Supreme Court in Wellington. The date proposed for the hearing of the application is the 10th day of July 1970. Any person desiring to oppose the scheme is hereby required to give written notice of his intention to do so to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, to the trustees, and to the Attorney-General not less than seven clear days before that date.

WYBRANTS OLPHERT, Solicitor for the Trustees.
Address for service: offices of Messrs Olphert and Borholdt, 39 Johnston Street, Wellington.

NOTICE OF PRIVATE BILL

THE AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP BILL

AUSTRALIA and New Zealand Bank Limited hereby gives notice that it intends to apply for leave to bring in the abovementioned Private Bill during the present session of Parliament.

The object of the Bill is to supplement the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Act 1970 of the Parliament of the United Kingdom by making the transfer of the undertaking of Australia and New Zealand Bank Limited to Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited fully effective in New Zealand.

The said Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom deals with the merger of the undertakings of Australia and New Zealand Bank Limited and The English, Scottish and Australian Bank, Limited, which is to be accomplished by the transfer of those undertakings to Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited. Legislation is the only means by which the transfer can be effected efficiently and economically, and without interference with the conduct and continuity of the business of banking; but the said Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom is not wholly effectual in achieving its objects in New Zealand because the transfer of certain assets is governed by the law of New Zealand.

The Bill now being promoted is designed to transfer the undertaking in New Zealand of Australia and New Zealand Bank Limited to Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited. (The English, Scottish and Australian Bank, Limited does not carry on business in New Zealand.)

On a day to be appointed, all the assets, liabilities, and obligations (except certain excluded assets) of Australia and New Zealand Bank Limited will become assets, liabilities, and obligations of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited. Customers of Australia and New Zealand Bank Limited will have the same relationship with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited as they had with Australia and New Zealand Bank Limited.

The promoter of the Bill is Australia and New Zealand Bank Limited.
