2.4 Incorporation of Company: Procedural Aspects and Results (Refusal andAcceptance)

Procedure (the Act's steps): name approval/reservation (the Office of Company Registrar's check — the distinguishable-name discipline); the MOA and AOA (2.7) signed by the founders; the registered office's declaration; the consent of first directors; the fee and filings; the Registrar's scrutiny (documents' sufficiency; the objects' lawfulness). Acceptance's result: the Certificateof Incorporation (2.11) — conclusive evidence of incorporation (the birth-certificate doctrine); the company's personality begins. Refusal's faces: defective or unlawful documents, prohibited names, insufficient founders — with the correction-and-cure route (resubmission) and the appeal against refusal; refusal reasons communicated.
