CHAPTER III THE MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION THE memorandum of association, in the case of a company limited by shares, must state the following: ‘(i) The name of the company having theword ‘‘ Limited ”’ as the last word in its name (s. 2 (1) (4)), unless a licence to dispense with the word “ Limited’ has been granted under s. 18; :(ii) whether the registered office of the Company is to be situate in England or Scotland [s. 2 (1) (b)]; (iii) The objects of the company [s. 2 (1) (c)]; ‘(iv) That the liability of the members is limited [s. 2 (2)]; ‘(v) The amount of share capital with which the com- pany proposes to be registered, and the division thereof into shares of a fixed amount’ [s. 2 (4) (a)].
