The Attorney-General

The number of reports received by the Director of Public Prosecutions from liquidators and specified to be pursuant to the duty imposed by section 334(2) of the Companies Act 1948 for each year since 1975 is as follows:

Year Number
1975 12

The director also receives each year a number of reports drawing attention to matters giving cause for general concern without referring specifically to matters reportable under section 334(2). The number of such cases is not available and could only be obtained at disproportionate expense.
