See 102 -
Order confirming reduction and powers of Court on making such order.
(1) The Court, if satisfied with respect to
every creditor of the company who under section 101 is entitled to object to
the reduction, that either his consent to the reduction has been obtained or
his debt or claim has been discharged, or has determined, or has been secured,
may make an order confirming the reduction on such terms and conditions as it
thinks fit.
(2) Where the Court makes any such order, it
may
(a) if for any special reason it thinks proper
so to do, make an order directing that the company shall, during such period
commencing on, or at any time after, the date of the order, as is specified in
the order, add to its name as the last words thereof the words " and
reduced ", and
(b) make an order requiring the company to
publish as the Court directs the reasons for reductions or such other
information in regard thereto as the Court may think expedient with a view to
giving proper information to the public, and, if the Court thinks fit, the
causes which led to the reduction.
(3) Where a company is ordered to add to its
name the words " and reduced ", those words shall, until the
expiration of the period specified in the order, be deemed to be part of the
name of the company.
