Requirement of official liquidator report before dissolution in amalgamation proceedings must be enforced by courts. A court must obtain the official liquidator report before dissolving a transferor company in an amalgamation; the second proviso to section 394(1) requires the High Court to secure a report on whether the company's affairs were conducted prejudicially to members. Regional Directors are instructed to notify courts of this procedural requirement in all amalgamation notices because some courts failed to seek the official liquidator's report.
