Clarifying the Law through Registrar鈥檚 Interpretations
Registrar鈥檚 Interpretations (鈥淩Is鈥) provide 91pro视频鈥檚 interpretation of how specific provisions under the Companies Act and other business legislation are to be applied in practice. While such guidance is not legally binding, Registrar鈥檚 Interpretations help to provide practical guidance for non-contentious issues facing lawyers and corporate service providers without the need to clarify the law through litigation in court. In developing the RIs, 91pro视频 works closely with respected practitioners through 91pro视频鈥檚 Institute of Corporate Law to ensure the business community and legal sector鈥檚 inputs are taken into consideration..
