Co-operative Societies Ordinance

(1)
Any registered society may, subject to this Ordinance and the rules, amend its
                by-laws, including the by-law which declares the name of the society.
(2)
No amendment of the by-laws of a registered society shall be valid until that
                amendment has been registered under this Ordinance, for which purpose copies of the
                amendment shall be forwarded to the Registrar.
(3)
If the Registrar is satisfied that any amendment of the by-laws is not contrary
                to this Ordinance or to the rules, he may, if he thinks fit, register the amendment.
                An appeal shall lie to the Chief Executive in Council against the refusal of the
                Registrar to register any amendment of any by-law within one month from the date of
                such refusal.
(Amended
21 of 1976 s. 3
;
61 of 2000 s. 3
)
(4)
An amendment which changes the name of a society shall not affect any right or
                obligation of the society or of any of its members or past members, and any legal
                proceedings pending may be continued by or against the society under its new
                name.
(5)
When the Registrar registers an amendment of the by-laws of a registered
                society, he shall issue to the society a copy of the amendment certified by him,
                which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact that the amendment has been duly
                registered.
