OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO SHARES 101 
A company authorised to transact business in any part 
of His Majesty’s dominions outside Great Britain, the Channel 
Islands or the Isle of Man, may keep in any such part of His 
Majesty’s dominions where it transacts business a branch 
register of members resident in that part. This register is 
called a ‘dominion register’ and references to a colonial register 
occurring in any articles registered before the 1st November, 
1929, are to be construed as references to a dominion register. 
The Registrar must be notified of the situation of the office 
where any dominion register is kept, and of any change in its 
situation, and of its discontinuance [s. 103]. A duplicate of 
a dominion register must be kept, duly entered up, at the 
company’s registered office, which duplicate is deemed to be 
part of the principal register, and in the event of default in 
this obligation or in transmitting to the registered office copies 
of entries in the dominion register the company and its 
officers are liable to penalties [s. 104]. For further details 
as to dominion registers, reference may be made to ss. 103-107 
of the Act. Under s. 106, sections 103-105 may be applied 
by order in Council to foreign countries in which His Majesty 
the King has jurisdiction, and by s. 107 if a dominion register 
is lawfully kept in any part of His Majesty’s dominions outside 
Great Britain (including protectorates and mandated terri- 
tories), s. 98 (as to inspection), and s. 100 (as to rectification 
of the register), may by order in Council be applied to such 
dominion register. 
In connection with the register of members, the annual list 
and return, or, as it is commonly called, the Annual Return 
(in the 1908 Act called ‘Annual List and Summary’), may 
conveniently be dealt with. Ss. 108-111 contain the statutory 
law on the subject, and the statutory form of the document 
applicable to a company having a share capital is contained 
in the sixth schedule to the Act. 
The Annual Return must be contained in a separate part 
of the register of members (which itself may be kept in one 
or more books), (s. 110). It must be made at least once in 
every year and must contain a list of all persons who, on the 
fourteenth day after the first or only ordinary general meeting 
in the year, are members of the company, and of all persons 
who have ceased to be members since the date of the last 
return, or (in the case of the first return), since the date of 
the company’s incorporation [s. 108 ‘z\ 
The list must state.

and present members referred to above:
