Section 65: Amendment of Register by order of Court

Central rule and applicability

A court deciding a matter relating to a registered firm may direct a register amendment that follows from its decision. When that direction is made, the Registrar shall amend the entry accordingly. The scope of the court's actual decision and direction controls the update.

Limits and related provisions

A party's allegation, draft order or private interpretation of a judgment is not itself the direction described here. Section 65 does not let the Registrar independently reopen the underlying court decision or extend it to unrelated changes. Stays, later orders and the current procedural position need checking.

Hypothetical business example

Hypothetical: a court determines a disputed partnership matter and expressly directs correction of the affected registered particulars. The parties provide the operative order through the prescribed procedure and verify that the amended entry follows the direction, without adding changes the court did not order.

Practical decision flow

Read the operative decision and identify any express consequential register direction.

Check the order's present operation, including a stay or later modification, and supply the required authenticated material to the Registrar.

Compare the amended entry with the court's direction and raise any implementation discrepancy through the proper process.
