Section 3 Adoption of model articles and Company name
Notwithstanding anything in regulations made under section 1042 of the 2006 Act (power to make regulations in respect of companies not registered under that Act), or anything in the old Acts, the Company may by resolution adopt the model articles with such modifications as appear to it to be appropriate.
So far as there is any inconsistency between a provision of any of the model articles adopted under subsection (1) and a provision of the old Acts—
before the day on which the Company registers under Chapter 1 of Part 33 of the 2006 Act, the provision of the old Acts prevails;
on and after that day, the provision of the model articles prevails.
In this section “the model articles” means the model articles for private companies limited by shares set out in Schedule 1 to the Companies (Model Articles) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/3229) or any regulations replacing those regulations.
Nothing shall require the alteration of the name of the General Cemetery Company in order for it to be registered under the 2006 Act.
