Purpose and legislative effect
“Banks and controlling companies stay subject to the Companies Act, but some Companies Act rules do not apply to banks, with a narrow curatorship-based exception for section 155.”
Banks and controlling companies stay subject to the Companies Act, but some Companies Act rules do not apply to banks, with a narrow curatorship-based exception for section 155. Banks and controlling companies stay in existence as companies under the Companies Act, but several Companies Act provisions do not apply or are treated differently. This section changes the curator’s powers and limits for dealing with a bank’s assets, liabilities, and guarantees, and adds reporting and consent steps involving the Minister or Registrar. This amendment changes what a curator may do with a bank’s assets, liabilities, guarantees, funding, and creditor arrangements, and adds reporting and decision-making duties for the curator, Minister, or Registrar. This excerpt only shows that a new section titled “Fair administrative action” is inserted after section 89; it does not include the rule itself.
