1185. (1) Where an order under section 1184 requires the CLG not to make any, or any specified, alteration in its constitution, then, notwithstanding anything in this Act, but subject to the provisions of the order, the CLG shall not have power, without the leave of the court, to make any such alteration in contravention of that requirement.

(2) Any alteration in the constitution of a CLG made by virtue of an order under section 1184, other than one made by resolution of the CLG, shall be of the same effect as if duly made by resolution of the CLG and the provisions of this Act shall apply to the constitution as so altered accordingly.

(3) Notice of the meeting at which the special resolution altering a CLG’s objects is intended to be proposed shall be given to any holders of the CLG’s debentures that entitle the holders to object to alterations of its objects; that notice shall be the same as that given to members of the CLG, so however that not less than 10 days’ notice shall be given to the holders of any such debentures.

(4) If the written resolution procedure is used in the matter, notice, which shall not be less than 10 days, of the proposed use of that procedure shall, together with a copy of the proposed text of the resolution, be given to the debenture holders referred to in subsection (3).

(5) In default of any provisions in the CLG’s constitution regulating the giving to the foregoing debenture holders of notice referred to in subsection (3) or (4), the provisions of Part 4 or, as the case may be, of the CLG’s constitution regulating the giving of notice to members shall apply.

(6) Without prejudice to subsections (3) and (4), in the case of a CLG which is, by virtue of section 1180, permitted to omit the words “company limited by guarantee” or “cuideachta faoi theorainn ráthaíochta” from its name, notice of—

(a) the meeting at which the special resolution altering a CLG’s objects is intended to be proposed; or

(b) if the written resolution procedure is used in the matter, notice of the proposed use of that procedure, together with a copy of the proposed text of the resolution,

shall be given to the Registrar and subsections (3) to (5) shall apply as respects such notice as they apply as respects notice of the meeting or resolution to debenture holders.

(7) Where a CLG passes a resolution altering its objects—

(a) if no application is made under section 1184 with respect to the alteration, it shall, within 15 days after the end of the period for making such an application, deliver to the Registrar a copy of its memorandum of association as altered, and

(b) if such an application is made, it shall—

(i) forthwith give notice of that fact to the Registrar, and

(ii) within 15 days after the date of any order cancelling or confirming the alteration, deliver to the Registrar a certified copy of the order and, in the case of an order confirming the alteration, a copy of the memorandum as altered.

(8) The court may by order at any time extend the time for delivery of documents to the Registrar under subsection (7)(b) for such period as the court may think proper.

(9) If a CLG makes default in giving notice or delivering any document to the Registrar as required by subsection (7), the CLG and any officer of it who is in default shall be guilty of a category 4 offence.
