REGISTRATION OF BUSINESS NAMES ACT 1916 - SECT 10

Duty to furnish particulars to Board of Trade.

10.(1) The Board of Trade may require any person to furnish to the Board such
particulars as appear necessary to the Board for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not he or the firm of which he is partner should be registered
under this Act, or an alteration made in the registered particulars, and may
also in the case of a corporation require the secretary or any other officer
of a corporation performing the duties of secretary to furnish such
particulars, and if any person when so required fails to supply such
particulars as it is in his power to give, or furnishes particulars which are
false in any material particular, he shall on summary conviction be liable to
imprisonment... for a term not exceeding three months or to a fine not
exceeding twenty pounds or to both such imprisonment and fine.

(2) If from any information so furnished it appears to the Board of Trade that
any firm or person ought to be registered under this Act, or an alteration
ought to be made in the registered particulars, the Board may require the firm
or person to furnish to the registrar the required particulars within such
time as may be allowed by the Board, but, where any default under this Act has
been discovered from the information acquired under this section, no
proceedings under this Act shall be taken against any person in respect of
such default prior to the expiration of the time within which the firm or
person is required by the Board under this section to furnish particulars to
the registrar.
