Chapter 11 : Administration of Act

80. Register of co-operatives to be kept by registrar

 

(1) The registrar must keep a register of co-operatives in the prescribed manner, in which particulars of all registered co-operatives are entered.

 

(2) The register of co-operatives or any extract or copy thereof signed by the registrar is, on the face of it, proof of the particulars contained in the register.

 

(3) If the registrar has reason to believe that either of the circumstances set out in section 73(1)(b) and (c) prevail, the registrar may send such co-operative a written notice requiring it to provide a written statement, signed by at least two of its directors, indicating that the co-operative is still operational.

 

(4) If the statement contemplated in subsection (3) is not received within 30 days of receipt of such notice, the registrar may remove such co-operative from the register.

 

(5) The registrar must publish the name of any co-operative that is deemed to be de-registered by virtue of section 26(1)(a), or that is removed from the register in terms of subsection (4), in a publication generally available to the public in the area where the majority of the members of the co-operative live.
