Statute overview

About this statute

This segment is the title and table of contents for the Business Corporations Act consolidation. This part sets rules for corporations’ names, incorporation filings, extra-territorial corporations, and some Registrar powers, and it also creates an offence for using a restricted corporate-style name without being a body corporate. Corporations must keep a registered office and records, limit their activities to their articles and the Act, and follow rules for accessing records and managing share capital. This provision governs share capital and share transactions, including limits on reducing stated capital, restrictions on holding or buying back a corporation’s own shares, dividend and financial-assistance limits, and shareholder rights tied to share issues. This provision covers how share and security certificates must be signed and marked, how corporations must keep securities records, what shareholders with fractional shares or scrip can do, and several trust-indenture duties and deadlines.
