An Act to remove doubts as to the Registration and Incorporation of certain Mining Companies under “The Mining Companies Act, 1872.”
Preamble.
WHEREAS by the sixth section of “The Mining Companies Act, 1872”
(hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”
), it is amongst other things enacted that in order to obtain the registration of any company formed for mining purposes under the said Act there must be lodged in the office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court for the judicial district within which it is proposed to carry on operations a memorandum signed by some person as the manager of such company, which shall contain the several matters and may be in the form contained in the Second Schedule to the said Act: Provided that if there be more than one Supreme Court office in such judicial district, then such memorandum shall be lodged at such one of the said offices as the Governor shall from time to time appoint to be the Registrar’s office for such district for the purposes of the First Part of the said Act:
And whereas the Supreme Court offices in Auckland, Nelson, and Dunedin were on the twenty-third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, duly appointed, by warrant under the hand of His Excellency the Governor, to be the Registrars’ offices for the “Northern,”
“Nelson,”
and “Otago and Southland”
Judicial Districts respectively for the purposes mentioned in the First Part of the said Act, there being more than one Supreme Court office in each such judicial district:
And whereas prior to the said twenty-third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, and before such Supreme Court offices were so appointed, memoranda of association in respect of certain mining companies were duly lodged in the said offices, and doubts have arisen as to whether such companies have been duly registered and incorporated under the said Act by reason of the premises, and it is expedient to set such doubts at rest:
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
1 Short Title.
The Short Title of this Act shall be “The Registration of Mining Companies Validation Act, 1875.”
2 Registration of certain companies validated. Persons not to be deprived of costs of proceedings.
Notwithstanding anything in the said Act contained, the Supreme Court offices at Auckland, Nelson, and Dunedin are hereby declared to be and to have been from the time of the coming into operation of the said Act the Registrars’ offices for the purposes of the First Part of the said Act for the “Northern,”
“Nelson,”
and “Otago and Southland”
Judicial Districts respectively; and every mining company in respect of which a memorandum has been duly lodged in any one of such offices under the First Part of the said Act prior to the twenty-third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, shall, in so far as the validity of the registration or incorporation of any such mining company may depend on compliance with the hereinbefore in part recited provision of the said Act, be deemed to have been duly registered and incorporated under the said Act, notwithstanding that at the time at which any such memorandum was so lodged as aforesaid, no Supreme Court offices had been appointed as required by the said Act: Provided always that nothing in this Act contained shall deprive any person of any costs of any proceedings in any Court in reference to any certificate issued by any Registrar prior to the passing of this Act.
