S160 Companies Tribunal Administrative Orders

Section 160 – Tribunal Administrative Order

The amendment requires the Companies Tribunal to state the date by which a company must comply with an administrative order to change its name. The amendment further provides rights to an applicant demanding that a defendant change their name to approach CIPC to have the defendant’s company’s name changed to its registration number if the defending party fails to do so by the date ordered by the Tribunal.
