of both the Companies Bill and the 1955 Act on a number of matters such as name changes, the "indoor management rule", the formation of contracts, and the penalties for offences.

(b) The Bill will require all existing companies to reregister under Part II of the Companies Bill by the end of the 3 year transition period and sets out the procedure to be followed in doing so.

(c) The Bill contains a number of provisions dealing with receiverships and will apply to receiverships of existing companies, companies incorporated or registered under the new Companies Bill as well as to receiverships to other persons.

(d) The Bill seeks to re-enact, with modifications, the present Part XIII of the 1955 Act relating to insurance companies. These provisions relate to minimum capital requirements, insurance proposals that contain applications for shares, the investigation of the affairs of insurance companies, and liquidation.

(e) The Bill seeks to re-enact the provisions of the Companies Amendment Act 1964 relating to flat and office owning companies as an amendment to the Land Transfer Act 1952 and extends those provisions to companies incorporated or registered under the new Companies Bill.

(f) It also seeks to re-enact the provisions of Part IV of the 1955 Act relating to the registration of company charges to companies incorporated or registered under the Companies Bill 1990.

(g) Finally, the Bill provides for the repeal of the 1955 Act with effect from 31 December 1994. The 1955 Act will, however, continue to apply in respect of existing windings up and liquidations and to existing companies that have applied to be reregistered or that have had the time for applying to be reregistered extended.
