Synopsis
Excerpt from The Companies Act, Third With Explanatory Notes and Appendix Containing Prescribed and Other Forms, Vol. 7: Together With Addenda to Company Precedents
The evidence given went far to show that many of the most drastic provisions of the Bill should be omitted and that others should be amended.
In 1899 the Select Committee was again appointed, and reported the Bill with extensive amendments which largely improved it. The Bill so amended was, in 1900, introduced into the House Of Commons as a Government measure. In its passage through Parliament it was amended in various respects, and on the 8th August, 1900, the Royal Assent was given and the Bill passed into law.
In the process of evolution many clauses taken from the Bill of the Departmental Committee have been discarded, many have been more or less modified, and the residue thus modified affords, it is hoped, an instance of the survival of the fittest.
