Part 11: Miscellaneous and general

This section applies where, on any modification of the enactments in force relating to companies, it appears to the Treasury to be expedient to modify the relevant provisions of this Act for the purpose of assimilating the law relating to companies and the law relating to registered societies.

The Treasury may by order make such modifications of the relevant provisions of this Act as they consider appropriate for that purpose.

section 126;
sections 135 and 136;

create criminal offences;
provide for the charging of fees, but not any charge in the nature of taxation.

An order under this section may—

make consequential amendments of, or repeals in, the provisions listed in subsection (3);

In this section "modification" includes any additions.
