The New Companies Act – Implementation the 1 April 2011

The new Companies Act was signed by the President on 8 April 2009. The Department of Trade and Industry (dti) published a notice on 28 September 2010 stating that the implementation date of the Companies Act 2008 has been deferred to 1 April 2011.

Did you know that:

  • Company Directors can be held liable for damages resulting from misconduct, failure to disclose personal financial interests, and/or breaching their companies’ memorandum of incorporation
  • A company’s directors, shareholders, creditors, or employees can apply for a business rescue if it is likely that the business will become insolvent soon
  • If a business rescue application is approved, an outside practitioner must be appointed to manage the company with the intent of rehabilitating it so that it can continue operating
  • Dissolving a company does not change the liability of a director or shareholder for conduct which occurred before the company was deregistered
  • Anyone found in breach of the Act could face a fine or up to ten years imprisonment.
