entries in the register necessary to give effect to the conversion in accordance
with the proposal as advertised, or the proposal as amended after opposition or
appeal thereon and published subsequently in the Gazette, and shall enter in the
register the date when such entries were made. The expression “the expiration
of the last registration” shall have regard to the same date in the case of all the
resulting entries for the purpose of determining the next renewal thereof in
accordance with section 25 of the Act as it had with regard to the registration
before conversion.

directs, be written, typewritten, lithographed or printed in the English language
upon strong paper, in dark, indelible ink, on one side only, of a size

thereof a margin of not less than 1½ inches.

authorized to sign the document. A document purporting to be signed for or on
behalf of a body corporate shall be signed by a director or by the secretary or
other principal officer of the body corporate, or by any other person who

All applications, notices, statements, papers having representations affixed, or
other documents authorized or required by the Act or these Regulations to be
made, left or sent, at or to the Office or with or to any other person may be sent
through the post by a prepaid letter; any application or any document so sent
shall be deemed to have been made, left or sent at the time when the letter
containing the same would be delivered in the ordinary course of post. In
proving such sending, it shall be sufficient to prove that the letter was properly
addressed and put into the post.
