Companies Act 1993

Miscellaneous

398: Act subject to application of Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol

You could also call this:

“Airplane rules can override parts of the Companies Act”

You need to know that some parts of the Companies Act 1993 are affected by rules about airplanes and airports. These rules come from something called the Cape Town Convention and the Aircraft Protocol.

The Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol are very important when it comes to airplanes. They have special rules that can sometimes be more important than the Companies Act. This means that if there’s a conflict between these airplane rules and the Companies Act, the airplane rules win.

The parts of the Companies Act that might be affected are Parts 14, 15, 15A, and 16. But really, any part of the Companies Act could be affected by these airplane rules.

If you want to know more about the Cape Town Convention and the Aircraft Protocol, you can look at section 104(1) of the Civil Aviation Act 1990. This section explains what these terms mean.
