Statement of reasons

This notice comes into force on the day after the date of its notification in the Gazette and expires on 31 January 2010.

This notice exempts Carlin Enterprises Limited, Kevin David Carlin, and The Styx Mill Country Club Incorporated, subject to conditions, from sections 33(3), 37, 37A, 38A, and 54 of the Securities Act 1978 and from the Securities Regulations 1983 (except regulation 8) in respect of the offer of participatory securities in the form of membership in The Styx Mill Country Club Incorporated that confer rights to participate in the ownership and use of all or part of the communal facilities in a residential property development in Christchurch.

The Securities Commission considers that it is appropriate to grant the exemptions because—

  • real estate developments often include communal facilities for the use of residents. Where these facilities are offered in the form of membership of an incorporated society, the interests offered are participatory securities under the Securities Act 1978. The Securities Commission has granted a class notice to allow these offers to be made without the need for a statutory supervisor, registered prospectus, and investment statement. Membership of the society is secondary to the purchase of the real estate interest. In these circumstances, the Securities Commission considers that full compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act 1978 would not provide additional benefits to purchasers that would offset the costs of compliance. The Securities Commission considers that adequate protection could be secured for these purchasers by compliance with the conditions of exemption; and

  • the offer by Carlin Enterprises Limited cannot strictly comply with the terms of a condition of the class notice in that a part of the communal facilities will not be owned by the incorporated society at the time of settlement. As this affects only a small part of the communal facilities, the Securities Commission is satisfied that adequate protection can be secured by compliance with additional conditions requiring representations that the additional facilities will be transferred to the incorporated society as soon as this is possible. In other respects the Securities Commission is satisfied that the offer falls within the policy of the class notice.

Issued under the authority of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989.

2 Status of reprints

  • Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint.

    This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the principal enactment and its amendments are contained.

3 How reprints are prepared

4 Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989

  • Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted.

    A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000. Changes to legislative drafting style have also been made since 1997, and are ongoing. To the extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all legislation reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint.

    In outline, the editorial changes made in reprints under the authority of section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 are set out below, and they have been applied, where relevant, in the preparation of this reprint:

    • •layout of provisions, including:

      • •indentation

      • •position of section headings (eg, the number and heading now appear above the section)

    • •format of definitions (eg, the defined term now appears in bold type, without quotation marks)

    • •format of dates (eg, a date formerly expressed as “the 1st day of January 1999” is now expressed as “1 January 1999”)

    • •position of the date of assent (it now appears on the front page of each Act)

    • •punctuation (eg, colons are not used after definitions)

    • •Parts numbered with roman numerals are replaced with arabic numerals, and all cross-references are changed accordingly

    • •case and appearance of letters and words, including:

      • •format of headings (eg, headings where each word formerly appeared with an initial capital letter followed by small capital letters are amended so that the heading appears in bold, with only the first word (and any proper nouns) appearing with an initial capital letter)

      • •small capital letters in section and subsection references are now capital letters

    • •schedules are renumbered (eg, Schedule 1 replaces First Schedule), and all cross-references are changed accordingly

    • •running heads (the information that appears at the top of each page)

    • •format of two-column schedules of consequential amendments, and schedules of repeals (eg, they are rearranged into alphabetical order, rather than chronological).
