COMPANIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1960 - SECT 117

Regulations as to dominion register.

117.(1) A dominion register shall be deemed to be part of the company's
register of members (in this section referred to as "the principal register").

(2) It shall be kept in the same manner in which the principal register is by
this Act required to be kept, except that the advertisement before closing the
register shall be inserted in some newspaper circulating in the district where
the dominion register is kept, and that any competent court in the dominion
may exercise the same jurisdiction of rectifying the register as is under
this Act exercisable by the court, and that the offences of refusing
inspection or copies of a dominion register, and of authorising or permitting
the refusal may be prosecuted summarily before any tribunal in the dominion
having summary criminal jurisdiction.

(3) The company shall

(a)transmit to its registered office a copy of every entry in its
dominion register as soon as may be after the entry is made; and

(b)cause to be kept at its registered office a duplicate of its
dominion register duly entered up from time to time.

Every such duplicate shall for all the purposes of this Act be deemed to be
part of the principal register.

(4) Subject to the provisions of this section with respect to the duplicate
register, the shares registered in a dominion register shall be distinguished
from the shares registered in the principal register, and no transaction with
respect to any shares registered in a dominion register shall, during the
continuance of that registration, be registered in any other register.

(5) A company may discontinue to keep a dominion register, and thereupon all
entries in that register shall be transferred to some other dominion register
kept by the company in the same dominion or to the principal register.

(6) Subject to the provisions of this Act, any company may, by its articles,
make such provisions as it may think fit respecting the keeping of
dominion registers.
