This legislation has been repealed.
Where an application
is made for an investigation into the affairs of a society with a view to the
dissolution thereof, upon the ground that the rates of contributions fixed in
the rules of such society added to the funds invested or otherwise possessed
by the society are insufficient to cover the benefits assured, the Registrar
may, if he thinks fit, at any time before making his award, require the
payment of such fee as he may deem reasonable, not exceeding the scale fixed
by Regulation No. 57 (d), with reasonable travelling expenses added
in any case in which they may be actually incurred, and if such investigation
be made by the Registrar himself such fee shall be payable into the Treasury
to the credit of the general revenue, but if it be made by any other person
such fee shall be for use of such person. [S. 25 (11), and s. 47 (1, d).]
