If you see a law or rule that talks about a company that was set up under the Companies Act 1955, you should know that it also means companies that are registered under the Companies Act 1993. This is true unless the context of the law or rule says otherwise. This means that when you’re reading about companies in New Zealand laws, you don’t have to worry too much about which specific Act the company was created under. The rules usually apply to all companies, whether they were set up under the old 1955 Act or the newer 1993 Act.
